My officials and staff in the Gambling Commission meet a range of stakeholders and representative bodies at regular intervals to discuss gambling policy and regulation. Information on Ministers' meetings with external organisations are included in the quarterly transparency returns.

The Government published its evaluation of the £50 regulations introduced in April 2015 on 21 January. The evaluation paper can be found here:

We will now consider the findings of the evaluation before deciding if there is a need for further action.
