to"ensure gambling regulation is fit for the digital age".
A white paper with its conclusions had been expected in late 2021, but the review has still not seen the light of day, with Sir Iain saying Downing Street told him it was not yet"done and dusted". "You could use it to close illegal sites too. It would be fair to gambling companies and those on the high street, it will protect those doing the right things."
