Do you believe that TfL should still have gambling advertisements on buses and in trains?

Gambling addiction can have a significant impact on the lives of individuals and their families, but the evidence base on the relationship between gambling advertising and gambling harms in the out of home environment, such as on buses and trains, is limited.

As part of my commitment to bring forward plans to ban harmful gambling advertisements on the TfL network, I have commissioned the University of Sheffield and University of Glasgow to produce independent evidence briefing. This work will summarise the research evidence on the health and health inequalities impacts of gambling advertising and will be published as a journal article in the coming months.

In the meantime, I continue to work closely with London Local Authority colleagues in building the evidence base so that we can better understand gambling harms and how to address them across London, working in partnership.
