Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
More sleaze

A Tory MP who has been paid £32,000 by the betting industry sent private letters to ministers warning them about the consequences of introducing tough new laws on “harmless gambling”.

Laurence Robertson, the MP for Tewkesbury, is paid £2,000 a month by the Betting and Gaming Council (BCG), the lobbying group that represents bookmakers. Last year he enjoyed free tickets worth thousands of pounds to watch cricket at Lord’s, horse racing at Doncaster and football at Wembley, courtesy of the gambling industry.

The Times has obtained a private email sent by Robertson, 63, to the gambling minister warning of the risks of tougher legislation. It was sent at about the time that the government announced a crackdown as part of a review of the Gambling Act. Almost a year and a half later no new laws have been announced and publication could be delayed until as late as May.
