(London).- Members of Parliament in the UK Parliament are set to hold a debate on gambling advertising on Thursday, April 23, in Westminster Hall.

UK MPs to debate gambling advertising in Westminster Hall

The session is expected to address ongoing concerns around the impact and regulation of gambling-related promotions across the UK.

The debate was scheduled following a proposal submitted by MPs Alex Ballinger and Beccy Cooper through the Backbench Business Committee, which is responsible for allocating parliamentary time for topics raised by backbench members.

The committee, which meets weekly on Tuesdays, reviews requests from MPs on a wide range of subjects before deciding how to distribute its limited debate slots. Its role is considered key in enabling parliamentary scrutiny on issues that may not be prioritized by the government’s legislative agenda.

The debate will be available to watch live via Parliament’s official streaming service, with a full transcript published in Hansard approximately three hours after the session concludes.

Further details on the debate and its outcomes are expected to emerge following the discussion, as policymakers continue to assess the regulatory landscape surrounding gambling advertising in the UK.
