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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what estimate her Department has made of the total number of people in receipt of benefits who regularly use fixed-odds betting terminals.

On 24 August the Gambling Commission published a report that draws together evidence on gambling behaviour, including that on fixed odds betting terminals, in England, Scotland and Wales.

The report can be found here:
