Government\u2019s role should not be to tell us what our tastes should be. Too often we\u2019re hearing about not drinking too much, eating too many doughnuts,\u201d<\/strong> Truss said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe Conservative Party leader doesn\u2019t want the government to be in charge of running people\u2019s lives. She states that it is not responsible for telling everyone how to think or act, and opts for a softer approach to leading the country.<\/p>\n
Truss will also reportedly scrap an obesity bill for the same reason. She may erase a ban on how stores can display sugary products, as well as reinstate advertising for junk food during the day. Currently, there is a prohibition on the advertising of certain products before 9 pm.<\/p>\n
Undoubtedly, the legislative updates are going to cause friction. Another change that’s sure to spark debate is the recent discussion about the removal of a cap on the amount of bonuses bankers can receive.<\/strong><\/p>\nThis is a recommendation of Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng that has, reportedly, received support from Truss. The proposal, according to Kwarteng, is to ensure the UK can attract more talented financial banking experts.<\/p>\n
Legislative Reform Still On the Table<\/h2>\n These changes don\u2019t mean that reforms aren\u2019t coming. For example, Truss scrapped the energy bill because of some of the language it included. At the same time, she announced that she’s allocating \u00a3150 billion (US$170 billion) to address the UK\u2019s energy crisis.<\/p>\n

What’s more likely, according to some, is a do-over from scratch that would include current analysis and research, along with more input from the gaming industry. Under voluntary responsible gambling programs, the self-governing ecosystem has reduced the percentage of problem gambling, according to the UK Gambling Commission.<\/p>\n
The UK’s gambling ecosystem, including casinos and sports betting venues, shut down on Monday in honor of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. Some venues, such as Grosvenor, will open in the evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Those calling for gambling reform in the UK aren\u2019t going to be happy with the latest development. As new Prime Minister Liz Truss continues to put her house in order, the long-anticipated update to the country\u2019s gambling laws might never arrive. The UK government spent the past few years reviewing and updating its gambling regulations.
