 <br>In her [reaction](https://africasfaces.com/read-blog/5852_how-are-betting-odds-calculated.html) to Ms Crouch, the PM stated the [federal government](https://oeclub.org/index.php/User:MathiasLoftus) had listened to those who wanted the [modifications](https://social.engagepure.com/read-blog/804_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-hold-up-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) to come into effect quicker than April 2020 and "had actually agreed that the modifications need to remain in place within the year - by October 2019".<br>

 <br>Who is Tracey Crouch?<br>
 <br>The 43-year-old MP has represented Chatham and Aylesford, in Kent, considering that 2010<br>
 <br>She was promoted to the front bench as [sports betting](http://it-viking.ch/index.php/User:SaraP4853583338) [minister](https://alumni.myra.ac.in/read-blog/148733_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) in 2015<br>
 <br>She is known for her opposition to fox hunting and her love of football - she is a qualified FA coach<br>
 <br>Grade school informed at Folkestone School for Girls, she went on to get a degree in law and politics from Hull University<br>
 <br>She had worked for different Tory MPs, consisting of [Michael Howard](https://www.tobeop.com/compare-review-oddsjet-de/) and David Davis before standing for election<br>
 <br>She had her first kid in 2016 and is believed to have actually been the very first Tory minister to take maternity leave<br>
 <br>But in the Commons on Thursday, Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson accused the federal government of "capitulating to the [sports betting](https://redmonde.es/read-blog/111_how-much-are-americans-investing-in-sports-betting.html) industry".<br>
 <br>He praised Ms Crouch's "courageous and principled choice" and said Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright "ought to be thoroughly embarrassed" of prioritising "business interests over victims, profits over public health and greed over good".<br>
 <br>MPs from all sides of the House participated his criticism. Former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said it should be talked about as part of the Finance Bill later this month.<br>

 <br>He informed the BBC: "There are plenty of people whose lives have actually been damaged by this addiction ... We need to do this extremely quickly, as rapidly as we can and in the meantime, the gambling industry will make about ₤ 1bn as an outcome of this hold-up. That's not ideal."<br>
 <br>Labour has informed the BBC that they will put down a change to the Finance Bill to try and generate the changes next April.<br>
