The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions her Department had with stakeholders in the horseracing industry prior to the Government's consultation on gambling tax simplification being launched.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

As part of the consultation process, the Government engaged with a wide range of stakeholders. We are working with representatives of the horseracing industry to identify any potential unintended consequences for the sector, and how they might be mitigated.
