<br>The government has [denied Labour](http://www.pickmemo.com/read-blog/11235_sport-betting-industry-seeks-to-protect-itself.html) claims that MPs had actually been led to think the cut would enter force at the start of the next tax year, in April 2019. They [suggested](https://terra.planetv.wtf/read-blog/698_.html) the cut had been planned to be introduced in April 2020.<br>

|

<br>"In addition, two people will unfortunately take their lives every day due to gambling-related problems and, for that factor as much as any other, I think this hold-up is unjustifiable."<br>

<br>She added: "It is a truth of government that ministers must follow cumulative duty and can not disagree with policy, let alone when it is policy made against your desires relating to your own portfolio."<br>

<br>Among those [applauding](https://globalairgunner.com/read-blog/20046_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-hold-up-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) her on social networks, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby tweeted, external that she was "principled and bold" adding: "May God bless her commitment to doing right."<br>

<br>But bookies have actually alerted the cut in stakes might cause thousands of outlets closing.<br>

<br>In her action to Ms Crouch, the PM said the government had listened to those who desired the modifications to come into impact quicker than April 2020 and "had actually concurred that the changes ought to be in location within the year - by October 2019".<br>
