Giving in to gambling

Published: 26 November, 2010

• THE government is proposing to double the maximum stake for gaming machines to £2 and to allow each arcade to install more machines. 

It is shocking that it is planning, along with other policies which will increase poverty, to give in to this industry and to make it easier for people to lose money through gambling. Readers can give their views in writing to John Penrose MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Department for Culture, Media and Sport, 2-4 Cockspur Street,  London SW1Y 5DH.
