Gaming Machines
Monday 11th September 2017

Asked by: Anne Main (Conservative - St Albans)

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what representations she has received on the potential number of betting shop jobs that would be lost in the event that stakes on gaming machines in betting shops are capped at (a) £50, (b) £30, (c) £10 and (d) £2.

Answered by Tracey Crouch

We are currently undertaking a review of gaming machines and social responsibility measures, which includes a close look at stakes on gaming machines in betting shops. I will publish the findings in October. DCMS will publish a full impact assessment of any changes to stakes it will consider as part of the findings.

We also received representations from a number of organisations during the review, which provided evidence about the potential impact that a stake reduction on gaming machines in betting shops would have on closures.

Representations received as part of the call of evidence will be published alongside the review findings.
