Just as important—especially for my bingo-loving constituents—is what the Bill does not tax. By abolishing bingo duty from 1 April 2026, this Government are recognising that not all gambling is the same. Bingo halls such as the one in Wednesfield are community spaces. They are places of friendship and connections, especially for some of our older residents, so supporting lower-risk activities while cracking down on the most harmful ones is exactly the balanced approach that our communities expect.
