Lords Gambling Industry Committee

We have today published the #LordsGamblingReport - Gambling Harm - Time for Action. Read it here and let us know what you think: committees.parliament.uk/committee/406/…

This is account is no longer active. The Government response has now been published and it is over to you to see if the Government takes on our recommendations in its #gamblingreview. Thank you to everyone who was involved and contributed to our #LordsGamblingReport.

From 11am, we will be speaking to the CEOs of the @SatAppsCatapult, @EnergySysCat and @ORECatapult: WATCH LIVE: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/73…

Thank you for your support throughout our #gambling inquiry, and we hope our #LordsGamblingReport recommendations will bring about positive change. @UKParliament rises today for summer recess, so this account will not be active until our return on 2 September.

Once we have received the Government response, the @UKHouseofLords will debate the report. The time frame for the debate is not fixed, but we will make sure we keep you updated

A number of on-course bookmakers have failed age verification tests in recent years, and the Gambling Commission needs to use its powers to bring about change

To try to save lives, doctors should receive thorough guidance on identifying #disorderedgambling and providing the support and signposting patients need
