00:00That's the Gambling Commission's role and responsibility.

00:03No, he's the Prime Minister.

00:04These people work for him.

00:06He can do whatever he wants.

00:07He can just say, if it were you, he'd say,

00:10James, tell me the truth.

00:11Did you or did you not?

00:13And you, being an honest man, would say yes or no.

00:17Well, in the example of Craig Williams,

00:24Craig has said what he did and has put himself

00:27into the hands of the investigators at the Gambling

00:31Commission.

00:32So I don't know what other conversations have been had.

00:36As I say, I don't necessarily know the process in detail.

00:41But the Gambling Commission is the appropriate body for this.

00:46and they've also said that it's inappropriate for us

00:48to comment on what is a live investigation.

00:50This is so weird.

00:51The man is the Prime Minister.

00:53He doesn't get told what to do by the Gambling Commission.

00:55No, we all know.

00:56No, actually, Trevor, that's completely the opposite.
