Rejected petition Television sponsored gambling

More details

I propose a select commitee investigates the negative impact on family life and standards by the continued abuse of TV and on-line gambling sites which are destroying families, financial security and general well being of the UK population.
The continued support of these sites by the UK governement goes against the principles of nearly all civilised economies including the US and ROI whose govt's protect their citizens from the catostrophic effects of this craze.
