Swansea East MP Carolyn Harris says the amount that can be gambled on fixed odds betting machines should be capped at £2 as the UK government opens consultation on restrictions.

Ministers have announced plans to lower the maximum bet from £100 to between £2 and £50.

Ms Harris told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that the machines are addictive and destroying people's lives.
