  In addition to his other sins:-
  
  
  In 2012, Davies was found to have accepted gifts from bookmaking companies whilst at the same time calling for them to be given tax concessions by the Government.[27] Subsequently, he also supported offshore bookmakers by opposing a Point of Consumption Tax on online gambling.
  
  In February 2013, it was reported that Davies was to be investigated by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards following a complaint claiming he received more than £10,000 in benefits from companies with links to the gambling industry which he did not fully declare in the register of members' interests during a year-long investigation into the betting industry.[28] The Commissioner required Davies to apologise for breaching the parliamentary code after not declaring an interest in a debate and at the Culture, Media and Sport Committee. The financial interest involved was £870 of hospitality from the bookmaker Ladbrokes, rather than the larger amount complained about which came from an employment services company with links to firms in the gambling sector.[11]
  
  In August 2016, it was reported that Davies had received from Ladbrokes three tickets to the Royal Ascot horseracing festival worth £960; hospitality at Cheltenham Racecourse from both Ladbrokes and Gala Coral; and a trip to Sandown Racecourse, also from Gala Coral. The total value of his horseracing hospitality in 2016 was reported to be in excess of £3,000.[29]
