Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment her Department has made of the effect of fixed odds betting terminals on the wider gambling industry.
I announced a review of gaming machines and social responsibility measures on 24 October. This will include a close look at Fixed Odds Betting Terminals. This is the correct mechanism to look again at this issue.
I have regular meetings with all interested parties on this and other related matters.
