Its industry-wide code for socially responsible advertising also requires all TV adverts to feature a responsible gambling message for the duration of the advert. These are welcome moves and we encourage all those who benefit from gambling advertising to think about how they can promote safer gambling</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 12/12/2018 22:17:02 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
