\"\"The current Mayor of London<\/a>, Sadiq Khan has said that if he is re-elected in the May elections he will ban<\/a> all gambling advertising on the London underground.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Mayor has already banned all \u201cjunk food\u201d advertising back in 2018 on the rail services and now plans to extend that to gambling if he wins.<\/p>\n

Mr Khan said of the pledge: \u201cI\u2019ve already banned body-shaming advertisements and advertisements for foods high in fat, salt and sugar on the Transport for London (TfL) network because of their impact on the health of Londoners.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the devastating way gambling addiction can destroy lives and families, I\u2019ll instruct TfL to bring forward plans to extend the ban to harmful gambling advertisements on the network.\u201d<\/p>\n

However with some 40% of outdoor advertising rail space helping to provide re-investment in the rail service critics fear that with the pandemic hurting the transport service already a drop in advertising revenues towards gambling would make it even harder to spend the promised funds needed to update the network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
