Proceeding contribution from Lord Foster of Bath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 29 March 2023. It occurred during Private notice question on William Hill: Breaches of Player Protection.


William Hill: Breaches of Player Protection

My Lords, I declare my interest as chairman of Peers for Gambling Reform. These and other egregious breaches of current player protection arrangements show all too clearly that these arrangements simply do not work. Given that, as the noble Lord, Lord Grade, pointed out, no new legislation is required, should we not be immediately introducing a single, independently overseen system of light-touch affordability checks to which all gambling companies must adhere?
