Postponement could lead to more suffering and possibly suicides, warn critics
UK government proposals to overhaul gambling legislation have been delayed until spring, the Guardian understands, prompting a warning from campaigners that the postponement could lead to more suffering and even suicide.
The Conservative party pledged to review gambling laws in its 2019 general election manifesto, in response to mounting concern among politicians, campaigners and civil society groups about the way the £14bn-a-year industry is regulated.
