UK Gambling Commission counters claims of parliamentary health committee

Gambling Commission Executive Director Tim Miller has criticized several claims made during a recent parliamentary health committee session on gambling harm levels in Great Britain, flagging concerns over some of the evidence presented.

Certain claims were made in the parliamentary Health and Social Care Committee meeting in April. The session’s first panel, made up of gambling harm researchers, called for more restrictions on casino games and gambling ads.

Miller responded to the research via a letter addressed to Layla Moran, chair of the Health and Social Care Committee, shortly after the spring meeting. The letter was made public on 8 July.
