Gambling Addiction

EDM number 1939 in 2005-06, proposed by John Penrose on 29/03/2006.

That this House recognises and is concerned by the damage through debt and family breakdown that gambling addiction causes in all parts of society; is particularly concerned about the potential for children to become gambling addicts if gambling is not conducted in a responsible and controlled fashion; applauds the work of Gamblers Anonymous, the Responsibility in Gambling Trusts, and others in helping compulsive gamblers to conquer their addiction; and calls on the Government, through the Gambling Commission, to work with the gambling industry to initiate a public information campaign about gambling addiction of the kind which has run successfully in countries such as South Africa, to establish a momentum behind efforts to reduce the number of gambling addicts in the UK as the Gambling Act comes fully into force.

This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs.
