The consultation set out in detail, our proposed policies and procedures for issuing licences, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and enforcing those requirements under the Gambling Act 2005.

Responses to the sections on compliance and enforcement, in the consultation document, were published in June 2007. A range of detailed comments were made, both in response to specific questions posed in the consultation document, and as suggestions or queries relating to particular paragraphs.
