Lord Watts (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 February 2025

Debate

Gambling Levy Regulations 2025

Contribution

I agree that there is a lot of information out there, but I would like to see it scrutinised more professionally. Part of the problem we heard in the committee was that access to data made it difficult for the academic studies that were carried out to find the evidence needed. I hope that the instrument will allow academics to look at issues with gambling and the prevention of gambling addiction, and that it will be an effective measure to help people to avoid this trap.
