Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 February 2025
Debate
Gambling Levy Regulations 2025Contribution
The football companies that are doing this need to be held to account. There is a lot to do. There are many anxieties, and we have got ourselves into a position where the timetable is tight, and reassurance is needed for the voluntary sector. Those with lived experience, who are working in the voluntary sector, must be there so that they know they can continue the work that they are doing. I meet lots of people with lived experience who are now working in some capacity in tackling gambling harm. I am overwhelmed by their levels of commitment and the way in which they are working. But many of them also still experience trauma, and we should not be giving them even more uncertainty and anxiety in their lives.
