London, England, April, 2016– The Officers of the Parliamentary All Party Betting & Gaming Group have been enormously gratified by the success of their first seminar, The Future of Online Gambling and are now looking forward to the highly anticipated next seminar, The Future of Betting Shops, to be held on Tuesday 26th April 2016. The speakers will be Malcolm George, CEO, Association of British Bookmakers (ABB), Andrew Lyman, Director of Group Regulatory Affairs, William Hill and John Heaton, Chairman, Scotbet. Steve Donoughue, gambling consultant and Secretariat of the All Party Betting & Gaming Group said:

British betting shops have recently had a very rough time politically. While some of the mud-slinging has been arguably warranted, much of it has been unfair and in some cases down right un-truthful. I am that certain that all Parliamentarians are only interested in the facts and are willing to come and listen and debate the evidence. We hope that our seminar can provide a platform for the industry to explain what they are up to now and what they see is the future for the cornerstone of the British gambling industry, the betting shop.

For the first time the Parliamentary All Party Betting & Gaming Group is allowing the invited guests from the industry to attend its meetings and join with the Captains of their industry in the debating what the future of gambling in Britain is. If you wish to attend one of the seminars please contact the Secretariat of the APBGG, Steve Donoughue at [email protected].
