This was part of a wider package of measures designed to protect those vulnerable to harm, including reducing the maximum stake from £100 to £2 on B2 gaming machines and strengthening protections around gambling advertising and online gambling.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 03/10/2018 12:25:31 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
