addressing the house, the culture secretary, lucy frazer, explained the importance of this white paperverwhelming majority is done safely and within people's means, for some, the ever present temptation can lead them to a very dangerous path. because when gambling becomes addiction, it can wreck lives, shatterfamilies, lost jobs, foreclosed homes, jail time, suicide. these are all the most extreme scenarios. but it's important we acknowledge that for some families, those worst fears for their loved ones have materialised. parents like liz and charles ritchie, whose son jack took his own life while travelling in hanoi after years of on—off addiction. gambling problems in adults have always been measured in terms of money lost. but you can't put a cost on the loss of dignity, the loss of identity, and in some cases, the loss of life that it can cause. we need a new approach that recognises a flutter is one thing, unchecked addiction is another. so today we are bringing smartphone regulations into the present day with a gambling white paper for the digital age. live now to labour mp and s
