Portsmouth South MP '˜encouraged' by news on fixed odds betting terminals
THE news that the maximum stakes for fixed odds betting terminals '˜will be cut' by government is encouraging, says Stephen Morgan MP.
Portsmouth City Council has previously pledged its support to The News’ campaign for a maximum stake on terminals.
The Portsmouth South MP said: ‘I’m encouraged by reports that, following our local campaign, the government may have finally seen sense on this issue.
