    "content": "In this regard and in keeping with the provisions of Standing Order 49, the consideration of further taxation measures is limited at the moment. The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is currently undertaking comprehensive stakeholder engagements with a view to proposing taxation measures for consideration by the House. Having considered the request, I have acceded to the request by the Leader of the Majority Party to withdraw Clauses 45 and 46 of the Gambling Control Bill, 2023. This is premised on the understanding that appropriate transitional clauses will be included to allow for the current taxation regime in the gambling sector to continue in the interim until another law is introduced. Indeed, I wish to draw the attention of Members to today’s Order Paper which contains amendments of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning relating to transition matters on taxation in gambling."
