Thank you, Darren, for that. I would expect all examination questions and Welsh baccalaureate tasks to be written in an appropriate way. Can I be absolutely clear that what we're talking about here is problem gambling and recognising that as a health issue, an addiction issue, just in the way that there are other addictions? I think we need to be slightly careful when we equate playing the lottery with problem gambling. I think we need to be slightly careful about that, but I would expect all questions in all examination papers to be written in a way that is appropriate for children reading them and using those resources.
