I am due to be laying a laminate floor this weekend and currently have a carpet in the room. I have been advised to lay the floor directly on top of the carpet as it is a thinnish carpet. Is this wise? Or is it advisable to remove the carpet.

without going into detail no
you should remove the carpet
imagine spilling a pint of water on the carpet then covering it with polythene for 6 months eventualy the smell gets out

Buggies will love your option.
Remove the carpet, install hardboard or plywood to level out, then use proper underlayment (foam) and install your floor.
