GAMBLING IN U.K.
Govt. Disturbed At Increase (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON, Jan. 9. The British Government has given notice that it intends to clamp down on Britain’s expanding gambling as a social evil.
The Parliamentary Secretary at the Home Office (Mr Thomas) told a public meeting: “There are families whose lives are being made hell because of gambling. The time has come to strike a note of warning to the nation. Unless a halt is called now, we will be on the way to decadence, from which it will be very difficult to recover.’’ Mr Thomas made it clear he was aiming mainly at private gambling clubs that have sprouted throughout Britain during the last few years.
