House of Lords appoints Committee to consider issues relating to gambling

The Special Inquiry Committee will investigate the social and economic impact of the gambling industry

Published: 14 June 2019 by David Inzani

“The House of Lords has appointed a Special Inquiry Committee to investigate the social and economic impact of the gambling industry.

The Committee will be chaired by Lord Grade of Yarmouth and has been tasked with considering a number of issues relating to the gambling industry.

  • In particular, the inquiry is expected to look at:-
  • The current state of the industry;
  • The effect of on-line gambling;
  • The “gamblification” of sport;
  • The lack of accurate estimates of the extent of the gambling problem;
  • The industry’s contribution towards research, education and treatment of problem gamblers;
  • Advertising;
  • The effects of participation in lotteries.

The Committee will issue a call for evidence shortly.”
