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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate she has made of the amount spent by gambling companies on lobbying MPs in the last 2 years.

Our Review of the Gambling Act 2005 is broad in scope and has attracted interest from a wide range of stakeholders, including industry, campaign groups and parliamentarians. Stakeholders from across the debate have provided evidence and views to inform the Review process, with c.16,000 responses submitted to our call for evidence, which we have been considering carefully. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has not collated the declarations of interest by parliamentarians relating to gambling firms.
