Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
What recent assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of gambling regulation.
Answered by Lucy Frazer - Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport
Today we have published our white paper on the Gambling Act Review which sets out a wide-ranging, proportionate package of reforms to ensure the regulatory framework is fit for the smartphone age and the right protections are in place to protect the public from gambling-related harm. The suite of proposals strike a balance between respecting the choices of people who gamble safely, and ensuring those that are at risk of gambling harm and addiction are protected and safeguarded.
