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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if she will place in the Library an estimate of the fiscal impact of each of the options in the Consultation on Changes to Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility Measures?

On 31 October the Government published the Consultation on Proposals to Changes to Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility Measures, together with its impact assessment. The Consultation can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-proposals-for-changes-to-gaming-machines-and-social-responsibility-measures

As policy develops in this area, DCMS will work closely with HM Treasury to establish the fiscal effect.
