Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities, pursuant to AQW 47991/22-27 and AQW 47993/22-27, whether his Department has sought confirmation from the Gambling Commission of the specific enforcement powers it holds in respect of remote gambling advertising in Northern Ireland.

Answer:

Yes, my officials have explored this matter with their colleagues in the Gambling Commission, who shared the guidance on its role and remit in Northern Ireland that was subsequently published on their website at:
