Gambling: Risk Assessment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will update the House on the progress of Financial Risk Assessments after the Gambling Commission Board meeting on 21 May.
Answered by Ian Murray
It is for the Gambling Commission to decide whether to implement Financial Risk Assessments. DCMS supports the policy intent behind Financial Risk Assessments, and has had regular engagement with the Gambling Commission on this issue.
The Gambling Commission has confirmed that its Board met at the end of May and the agenda included consideration of the extensive evidence base connected with financial risk assessments. The Commission Board has not yet fully completed its assessment of that evidence. The Commission has confirmed that it will communicate further in due course.
