Following news that Karen Bradley is the UK’s new culture secretary – and therefore has ultimate responsibility for the UK gaming industry – the Gambling Business Group trade organisation has moved quickly to offer Bradley a fact-finding tour of UK gambling.

Bradley was one of the appointments made by new prime minister Theresa May to her new cabinet.
Peter Hannibal, CEO of the GBG, said: “Clearly the minister has a very busy portfolio of high-profile issues to deal with, but we believe that it is vital that gaming is not pushed down the agenda.
“We have our own important issues,” he added.
