<br>The federal government has [rejected Labour](https://jimsusefultools.com/index.php/User:FranchescaBusch) declares that MPs had been led to think the cut would come into force at the start of the next tax year, in April 2019.

<br>"In addition, two people will tragically take their lives every day due to gambling-related issues and, for that factor as much as any other, I think this hold-up is unjustifiable."<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|

<br>She included: "It is a reality of government that ministers should adhere to collective responsibility and can not disagree with policy, not to mention when it is policy made against your desires associating with your own portfolio."<br>

<br>'God bless'<br>

<br>Among those [praising](https://customerscomm.com/read-blog/3725_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-us-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) her on social media, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby tweeted, external that she was "principled and brave" adding: "May God bless her commitment to doing right."<br>

<br>Former foreign secretary Boris Johnson tweeted, external that she "should have huge credit not just for her campaign but for sticking up for her concepts".<br>
|

<br>Fixed-odds [sports betting](https://friends.win/read-blog/20687_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) terminals create ₤ 1.8 bn in profits a year for the wagering industry, according to the Gambling Commission, external, and taxes of ₤ 400m for the government.<br>
|
||||
<br>Currently, individuals can bet as much as ₤ 100 every 20 seconds on electronic gambling establishment video games such as roulette. Anti-gambling advocates say the makers let gamers lose money too quickly, causing addiction and social, psychological and monetary issues.<br>
|
||||
<br>But bookies have [cautioned](https://demo.wowonderstudio.com/read-blog/2591_things-you-need-to-learn-about-rafting-adventures.html) the cut in stakes might result in countless outlets closing.<br>
|

<br>In her action to Ms Crouch, the PM stated the [federal government](https://dev.fleeped.com/read-blog/68_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-hold-up-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) had listened to those who wanted the [modifications](https://wiki.vifm.info/index.php/User:HollisColmenero) to come into impact earlier than April 2020 and "had actually concurred that the changes must be in location within the year - by October 2019".<br>
|
||||
<br>In his Budget on Monday, the chancellor said the change to fixed-odds stakes would enter force next October at the very same time as [modifications](https://napvibe.com/read-blog/3119_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-us-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) to duty charged on [sports betting](https://theavtar.in/read-blog/30180_begin-winning-with-pcg-college-football-picks.html) companies based abroad but running in the UK.<br>

<br>The federal government states co-ordinating the date of the two modifications would mean the federal government would not be struck by a fall in tax profits.<br>

<br>Who is Tracey Crouch?<br>
|
||||
<br>The 43[-year-old MP](http://www.mizmiz.de/read-blog/83367_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) has represented Chatham and Aylesford, in Kent, given that 2010<br>
|
||||
<br>She was promoted to the front bench as [sports betting](https://bundas24.com/read-blog/180694_sport-betting-industry-looks-to-protect-itself.html) minister in 2015<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|
||||
<br>She is known for her opposition to [fox searching](https://wooshbit.com/read-blog/18742_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) and her love of football - she is a certified FA coach<br>
|
||||
<br>Grade school informed at Folkestone School for Girls, she went on to get a degree in law and politics from Hull University<br>
|
||||
<br>She had worked for numerous Tory MPs, [including Michael](https://camlive.ovh/read-blog/2495_sport-betting-industry-looks-to-protect-itself.html) Howard and David Davis before representing election<br>
|
||||
<br>She had her very first kid in 2016 and is believed to have been the very first Tory minister to take maternity leave<br>
|
||||
<br>But in the [Commons](https://wiki.snooze-hotelsoftware.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:BPETemeka875006) on Thursday, Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson implicated the government of "capitulating to the gaming industry".<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
|
||||
<br>He praised Ms Crouch's "courageous and principled decision" and stated Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright "must be thoroughly ashamed" of prioritising "business interests over victims, profits over public health and greed over great".<br>
|
||||
<br>MPs from all sides of the House joined in his criticism. Former Iain Duncan Smith stated it must be gone over as part of the Finance Bill later this month.<br>
|
||||
<br>Week ahead in Parliament: The Finance Bill<br>
|
||||
<br>He told the BBC: "There are lots of people whose lives have been harmed by this dependency ... We need to do this really rapidly, as quickly as we can and in the meantime, the gambling market will make about ₤ 1bn as an outcome of this delay. That's not best."<br>
|
||||
<br>Labour has actually told the BBC that they will put down a change to the Finance Bill to try and bring in the modifications next April.<br>
