Conservatives Say Government Must
Not Water Down Promises On Gambling
Following
recent comments made by the Head of the Gambling Commission,
Peter Dean, the Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media
and Sport, Hugo Swire said:
"In the House of Commons,
we were given categorical assurances by the Secretary of
State that tackling problem gambling was an essential part
of any gambling reforms. The cautious support for Labour's
plans came only after unequivocal assurances from Tessa
Jowell that the regulator would act to protect the
vulnerable. It is worrying that the role and powers of the
regulator seem to have been exaggerated by the Secretary of
State."
He added: "Clearly from
today's newspaper reports, the man put in charge does not
intend to be as tough as Parliament was promised. We expect
the Government not to water down the promises they
made."
