The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many times gambling websites were visited by government system users in each year since 2015.

Answered by Chris Ward

This information is not held centrally by the Cabinet Office.

All users are bound by an ICT Acceptable Usage Policy which states that users must not undertake any form of gambling on Cabinet Office IT. Any breach is managed through the Cabinet Office’s disciplinary process.
