Tessa Jowell: Since the publication of the report of the Gambling Review Body (Cm 5206) in July 2001, the Department has undertaken
a very extensive programme of consultations with interested bodies about options and proposals for changes to gambling law in Great
Britain. There have been two formal public consultations, the first on the Review Body's report and the second on the draft clauses
published for pre- legislative scrutiny in November 2003.
In addition to these consultations the relevant Government Departments have corresponded with and met individual companies
(including those who have expressed an interest in trading in Great Britain as well as those already doing so), trade associations,
charities and other bodies concerned with problem gambling or who benefit from lotteries, local authorities, trade unions, law
enforcement agencies, academics and many other bodies and individuals, including members of the public, with an interest. These
contacts, designed to ensure that the Government's policy proposals are sound and take full account of all relevant benefits, costs
and risks, have involved both Ministers and officials. All such contacts are conducted in accordance with the Ministerial Code and
the Civil Service Code.
