clauses in July 2003, further sections and policy information regarding the Draft
Gambling Bill have now been issued. The Joint Committee, chaired by John Greenway
MP, is calling for written evidence from interested organisations and individuals
to be submitted by 10 December 2003.

The Draft Gambling Bill is relevant to charities because it will cover Society lotteries,
prize competitions, remote e.g. online gambling, and other activities undertaken
by many charities. Equally, it will cover the protection of children and vulnerable
persons with regard to gambling, a direct concern of several charities.
