"content": "It would have been prudent to have this Motion undertaken by a relevant Departmental Committee. It would have more information. It would have carried out more in-depth work than this Select Committee. We are in a country where the dependency ratio is 81.5 per cent. That means certain people carry the burden of providing for other individuals and that puts them under a lot of pressure. What does an individual do when he has a lot of pressure to provide? He seeks out unscrupulous means which is basically wrong. This tends to form a bad society. Gambling is a social vice, it is unacceptable and we cannot have it in our culture."
