Gambling: Taxation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department plans to bring forward proposals for a statutory gambling levy.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
His Majesty’s Government recognises the changes to the gambling landscape since 2005 and that while millions of people gamble without experiencing problems, for some it becomes an addiction with serious consequences.
As stated in the Government's manifesto, we are absolutely committed to reducing gambling-related harm. We will ensure responsible gambling and strengthen protections for those at risk.
