Diolch, Llywydd. I've agreed to allow Mick Antoniw and Jane Hutt to have a minute each in this debate.

Gambling has a long history. Most of us have gambled in one form or another at some point in our lives. Last year, over half the UK population aged 16 and over gambled—from a game of bingo and a flutter at the bookmakers to the National Lottery and betting online, it's now easier than ever to gamble. For the majority of people, gambling is likely to be an infrequent, fun and social activity—a form of entertainment played with reasonable boundaries and limitations. Increasingly, however, this is a fine line, and some groups are at risk of developing hazardous gambling behaviour, potentially leading to more harmful gambling addiction. With less than a month to go before Christmas, problem gambling might not be something we associate with the festive season, but while it is a happy time, it can be anxious and stressful for many. Christmas can put financial strains on individuals and families, particularly in our credit-orientated, buy now, pay later consumer culture.
