Proceeding contribution from Dawn Butler (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 January 2026. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Finance (No. 2) Bill.

Finance (No. 2) Bill

I congratulate the Minister on the changes that the Government have made, on tackling online harms and on excluding bingo halls, as she says. Bingo halls are often a community, and they involve a lot of people. Does she agree that this issue is about not just online, but offline? Will she consider ensuring that we make our high streets safer when it comes to gambling? Will she look at erasing the aim to permit from the Gambling Act 2005 as a next step?
