Rt Hon Stephen Timms MP

Former Treasury minister Stephen Timms MP writes about recent changes to gambling policy in light of changes he brought forward in Government twenty years ago. He writes that despite promising to behave responsibly, Bookmakers "simply let greed rip, fleecing vulnerable punters without restraint for years".

Low levels of development in the early years doesn’t just have an adverse impact on progress at school. It also damages children’s future life chances, says Stephen Timms MP.

Stephen Timms MP calls on the Government to implement new measures to make it harder for criminals to purchase acid, and impose harsher sentences on perpetrators of acid attacks.
