The motion

That this House notes that gambling in all its forms can destroy the lives of the people addicted to it and have a huge effect on their family and people close to them; further notes that credit encourages people to gamble with money that they do not have; and calls on the Government to implement a total ban on the use of credit cards for all forms of gambling and online gambling in particular.
