Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has had discussions with the Gambling Commission on money laundering and bookmakers since the recent fine of the bookmaker William Hill.
The Treasury frequently engages with the Gambling Commission on a range of issues, including in relation to anti-money laundering supervision. The Gambling Commission is a member of the Money Laundering Advisory Committee that is chaired by the Treasury and Home Office and was actively engaged during the process of drafting the most recent National Risk Assessment 2017.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Ministers and officials also have regular discussions with the Gambling Commission on a range of issues.
