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.

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what is the statutory basis for the Department's engagement with the National Farmers Union on farming issues.
Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
Departments are required to consult when there is a statutory requirement to do so or a common law duty. Alternatively, in the absence of a legal requirement to consult, a department may engage in voluntary consultation where to do so assists in good policy formulation and development.
Defra regularly engages with the National Farmers Union and a range of other stakeholders for these purposes. This reflects this Government’s commitment to engage with and listen to the farming community, and the recommendations made by Baroness Batters in her independent Farming Profitability Review.
