One of my amendments suggests that fans should be consulted on the issue. Opinion polls suggest they will support the banning of commercial relationships between their club and gambling companies. The other simply requires the regulator to ensure that such a ban is put in place. Both are likely to lead to the same result. They present an opportunity for professional football to restore its reputation as a force for good in this country; for clubs to show they are capable of putting their fans above short-term profits; and for the Government to demonstrate that sporting Great Britain can lead the way in protecting the health of the next generation. I beg to move.
