Asked by: Jeremy Corbyn (Your Party - Islington North)
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will consider bringing Section 87 of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act into force before summer recess.
Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)
The Government will bring Gambling Impact Assessments (GIAs) into force in due course and is currently considering what preparations and guidance will be needed for their introduction, to enable local authorities to use them effectively. As this guidance is crucial to the introduction of GIAs, we do not expect to bring GIAs into force until the guidance is ready. We do not anticipate bringing GIAs into force ahead of summer recess, but expect them to be in place by the end of the year.
