    "content": "I want to draw a parallel between the gambling industry and the alcoholic drinks industry. The alcoholic drinks industry in this country is regulated and raises substantial revenues for the economy of this country. On the opposite side, let us look at the harm that alcoholic drinks trade has visited on individuals, families, communities and society. Although this Bill promises that rehabilitation centres for those addicted to gambling can be built, why have we not built rehabs for those addicted to alcohol? Unless this Bill is ring-fencing a portion of the revenues that the Government is raising from this industry to go towards harm reduction. Prevention is always better than cure. This Bill is silent on harm reduction on the documented effects of gambling on addicts, families and communities."
