Asked by: Baroness Mallalieu (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have (1) to consider, and (2) to publish, an impact assessment on industries interlinked with the UK betting sector before implementing the affordability checks proposed by the Gambling Commission.

Answered by Baroness Barran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The Gambling Commission’s consultation and call for evidence on Remote Customer Interaction closed on 9th February. The Commission is currently considering responses and will be led by the evidence it received in deciding next steps. It would be for the Gambling Commission to consider the appropriate impact assessment, depending on what action it decides to take following the consultation, in line with Business Impact Target Assessment requirements.
