Biography
Lord Norton of Louth participated in a debate on young people and gambling harm, where he emphasised that government action alone is insufficient to address the problem. He highlighted the interconnected nature of gambling addiction with alcohol abuse and drug habits, noting that these issues consume significant court time through violence and theft cases, and referenced Public Health England's 2021 report linking gambling harms to alcohol consumption.

“…The problems are not unrelated. Public Health England’s 2021 report on gambling harms found a clear link between alcohol consumption and harmful gambling, with 35% of non-drinkers participating in gambling, compared with 74% of those who drank 50-plus units of alcohol per week.”
