Written Question
Gambling
Thursday 22nd March 2018

Asked by: Colin Clark (Conservative - Gordon)

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

What steps he is taking to reduce problem gambling.

Answered by Tracey Crouch

We take problem gambling very seriously and protecting vulnerable people is a key aim for the Government and the Gambling Commission.

The rate of problem gambling among the adult population in Britain has remained relatively stable over many years, and is currently 0.8%.

Our consultation on gaming machines and social responsibility closed in January. It made clear we will cut stakes on fixed-odds betting terminals. It also included measures to strengthen protections around other gaming machines, online gambling and gambling advertising.

Lotteries: Limits on Prize Values

"I am equally concerned about charities’ costs; administrative and advertising costs can be as high as 49% in some of these society lotteries. Obviously Camelot, because of scale, has much lower costs. However, does the hon. Gentleman agree that by increasing turnover, smaller charities would probably decrease their administrative cost …..."

Rural Communities in Scotland: Broadband

"In reply to the previous intervention, my constituency of Gordon, which is clearly a big part of Aberdeenshire, is 613th for broadband in Scotland. That is disappointing for constituents and disastrous for business. My hon. Friend mentioned alternatives. Point-to-point technology, already used by wind farms in isolated communities, is often …..."
