Gambling Act 2003

Gambling - Licensing of class 4 gambling - Disabling gambling equipment and electronic monitoring of gaming machines

88: Secretary may select monitor

You could also call this:

"The Government chooses who runs the computer system that tracks gaming machines."

The Secretary can choose one person they think is suitable to set up and run an electronic monitoring system. You can think of an electronic monitoring system like a computer program that helps keep track of things, in this case, gaming machines. The Secretary gets to decide who is suitable for this job.

The Secretary can also choose one or more people to help transfer the electronic monitoring system from one person to another. This means if the person originally chosen can't do the job anymore, the Secretary can pick someone else to take over. The Secretary still gets to decide who is suitable for this job.
