It’s one of the most talked about stories of the week; Conservative MP, Nigel Mills, caught on camera enjoying popular mobile app Candy Crush on his iPad, for over 2 hours while sat during Parliamentary committee.
And it appears he’s not alone, as nearly one in five of people (18%) have admitted that they’ve also played a game during a work meeting.
That’s according to a new study revealed today by leading network provider Three, which reveals the true extent of our gaming habits.
According to the research, conducted with 1,000 Brits, on average a single mid-meeting gaming session lasts for 16 minutes, with 18% confessing to doing so for over 20 minutes at a time. However, not many come close to reaching the levels of addiction of Nigel Millis MP, with less than one in ten (9%) playing for more than 40 minutes.
