MPs in the UK have signed an early day motion against Google's decision to advertise gambling companies.
The motion, brought by Mahmood Khalid, MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, follows criticism issued by the Church of England that the search engine’s actions were irresponsible.
The motion said: "This House notes with concern the recent decision of Google to reintroduce online gambling advertisement during a period of economic downturn, supports the Church of England’s position that the actions of Google risk normalising gambling in society and calls on Google to review its policy in line with its own obligations on corporate social responsibility."
