BGC, the UK's Leading Industry Association, Welcomes New Ministers at DCMS and Pledges to Work Together on Safer Gambling, Boosting Economic Growth and Support for Grassroots Sport
The Betting and Gaming Council (BGC), the UK's leading industry association in its field, has congratulated Lisa Nandy MP on becoming the new Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, and pledged to work with her ministerial team to grow the economy and raise standards on safer gambling.
She is joined at DCMS by Stephanie Peacock MP, who has been appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at DCMS.
BGC Chair Michael Dugher welcomed both new appointments on behalf of the 110,000 people whose jobs rely on the regulated betting and gaming industry and the 22.5 million who enjoy a bet each month.
He also welcomed a new announcement from Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy to further invest in grassroots sports, including confirming that funding allocated to grassroots sports facilities will continue beyond April and also confirming a pilot allowing local clubs to take over their own pitches and facilities from struggling councils, will become a national programme.
It follows a commitment to ensuring sport plays a full role in local communities and our national story, while giving opportunities to young people across the country.
