Uses official Hansard records to document interest in and sentiment towards different sectors of the gambling industry; and to identify how parliamentary sentiment has corresponded with changes (positive and negative) to gambling legislation and regulation (and to ask whether parliamentary interest can be used as a lead indicator of regulatory change).

The Gambling Commission has published a report that provides a comprehensive analysis of gambling across the whole of Great Britain. It examines the rates of participation, at-risk gambling and problem gambling, and explores their associated characteristics and behaviours.

Tim Miller, Gambling Commission executive director, is quoted as saying: “For many, gambling is an enjoyable leisure activity. But for some people gambling can become a problem with serious consequences for them, their families and their communities. Whilst overall problem gambling rates in Britain have remained statistically stable, our research suggests that in excess of two million people are at-risk or classed as problem gamblers, with very many more impacted by the wider consequences of gambling-related harm. We have a clear commitment to make gambling fairer and safer and these figures show that this is a significant challenge. Success will depend upon us, the industry, government and others, all working together with a shared purpose to protect consumers. The pace of change to date simply hasn’t been fast enough – more needs to be done to address problem gambling.”
