The Government won't comment on a report that it will drop a plan to ban gambling sponsors on football shirts.
A report in the Times claims proposals to ban football clubs from allowing betting companies to display their logos on strips will not be included as recommendations on an upcoming review of gambling legislation. Previously it has been suggested the idea would be included on the White Paper. But the Times says that recommendation has been dropped in favour of Premier League Clubs making a voluntary agreement.
In last season's Premier League, nine out of 20 clubs had a betting firm's logo on the front of their shirts. They include Newcastle United.
