Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of the potential effect on tax revenues of proposed reductions in the maximum allowed stake on fixed-odds betting terminals.
Gambling regulation is a matter for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Gambling Commission. DCMS will publish an impact assessment on any changes proposed as a result of the ongoing Triennial Review into stakes and prizes on gaming machines and machine entitlements across all gambling premises.
