UK: Tracey Crouch resigns in protest at gambling policy: BBC report

British sports minister Tracey Crouch resigned from the government on Thursday over a delay to the government's proposed implementation of gambling reforms, the BBC reported.

The government is to cut the maximum stake on fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBT) from 100 pounds to just two pounds after ministers opted to try to tackle problem gambling and rejected claims that such a big reduction could cost thousands of jobs.

The BBC said Crouch, who first announced the change, had quit because the proposed change would be not in place from April 2019.
