Westminster woe as politicians get their scheduling badly wrong

The Dikler has never been one to get wrapped up too much in politics, it takes away from time that should be spent studying the form, but quite how out of touch those at Westminster are with the wider world has finally struck home.

In less than a month the tapes will go up for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, but guess when a conference on the UK gambling industry has been set for? Yes, that’s right - the afternoon of Tuesday, March 14.

A Westminster eForum entitled ‘The UK gambling sector: market developments, regulation and the impact of Brexit’ will feature discussions on key issues in the UK gambling sector and the possible impact of the introduction of a new racing right.
