Gaming
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of pausing the measures on adult gambling centres announced in the Gambling White Paper.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Government is committed to strengthening protections to ensure that people can continue to enjoy gambling as a pastime without the harms that can ensue from harmful gambling. We are committed to reviewing the best available evidence from a wide range of sources and working with all stakeholders in order to support the sector and ensure there are robust protections in place to protect those at risk.
The Minister for Gambling has met and held wide-ranging discussions with a range of stakeholders, including the British Amusement Catering Trade Association. We will provide further updates to the House soon.
