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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if her Department will assess the potential merits of reducing the maximum stake people are allowed to bet on fixed odds betting terminals.

As previously stated in the House of Commons, the Government is considering the situation and I hope to announce details of a review in due course. This will be the appropriate mechanism to look again at the issue of stakes on Fixed Odds Betting Terminals.
