Chris Philp: The Government launched its Review of the Gambling Act 2005 to ensure that the regulation of gambling is fit for the digital age. The Review will be wide-ranging and evidence-led. Our terms of reference can be found at the link here. A core objective of the review is to ensure that customers are suitably protected whenever and wherever they are gambling, and that there is an equitable...
Mark Durkan: I thank the Member for his intervention and the fact that he would have supported my amendment. While 1% may appear to lack ambition, those in the industry evidently do not think so, because, although it was included in the 2005 GB Act, it has still not been implemented; I will touch on that now. There was even a bit of panic locally when the amendment was tabled. Seventeen years since that...
Gillian Keegan: The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has responsibility for the treatment of gambling-related harms. The NHS Long Term Plan published in 2019 announced the creation of 15 new specialist problem gambling clinics with up to £15 million of funding allocated over five years until 2023/24. Five clinics are already in operation, and DHSC continues to support the National Health Service...
Ronnie Cowan: To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, when her Department plans to publish a White Paper on the reform of the Gambling Act 2005.
Margaret Ferrier: I welcome the Leader of the House to his place. On Sunday morning, I will be joining locals at Hamilton Accies football club for The Big Step challenge, which is a campaign to end all gambling advertising and sponsorship in football. The campaign is part of Gambling with Lives—a charity set up by families bereaved by gambling-related suicide. Will the Leader of the House schedule a debate...
Chris Philp: I have had extensive conversations with the horse-racing industry and with hon. Members who represent constituencies with racing interests on the Gambling Act 2005 review in general and on the plans that the industry are voluntarily developing to share information on customers who are at severe risk of addictive gambling disorders.
Gambling Act 2005 - Question
Rupa Huq: To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential financial public losses as a result of the proposed changes to the Gambling Act.
Maree Todd: We share the concerns that many have expressed around the impact of gambling-related harms in Scotland, and we recognise that gambling can have disastrous consequences. We agree with the view of our stakeholders that a public health approach is needed to tackle those harms and improve treatment services. We are working with Public Health Scotland and third sector stakeholders to develop an...
Carolyn Harris: To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if her Department will classify loot boxes as a form of gambling in the upcoming review of the Gambling Act 2005.
Ronnie Cowan: Will the Chancellor confirm or deny that millions of pounds of taxpayers’ funds have been sunk into an online gambling company with the Government’s start-up scheme? If so, is this the right time to invest in a private gambling firm, since a review of the Gambling Act 2005 is already being undertaken?
Baroness Scott of Bybrook: ...history lesson is not simply to highlight the UK’s role as a world leader on this issue—although that is something of which we should be rightly proud. Rather, it is to draw attention to the fact that lowering the voting age was not done in isolation. In that same year, 1969, the Family Law Reform Bill was making its way through Parliament, and a key provision of the resultant Act was...
Feryal Clark: High streets in constituencies like mine are being broken up by an ever-increasing number of gambling venues. Yet another bank branch on Hertford Road, which closed only 12 months ago, has now been replaced by a gambling venue. Residents and local councils are powerless to stop this happening. Will the Leader of the House tell us when the Government’s review of the Gambling Act 2005, which...
Chris Philp: The Online Harms Bill will bring in a regulatory framework for user-to-user services, such as social media and video sharing sites, and search services, such as search engines. Gambling firms are already subject to the specific gambling regulatory regime set out in the 2005 Gambling Act. We are currently reviewing that Act with a focus on ensuring we have the right protections in place to...
Gambling Act 2005: Review
Abena Oppong-Asare: The SNP has tabled new clause 11 on the volume of gambling and public health, and I think there was a similar proposal last year. It is interesting to compare the uprating of these bands, to prevent casinos from paying more tax simply as a result of inflation, with the Government’s decision to freeze the income tax personal allowance, which of course increases the tax ordinary people will...
Chris Philp: All gambling advertising, wherever it appears, is already subject to strict controls on content and placement. Gambling operators and their affiliates must abide by the advertising codes issued by the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (BCAP) and the Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP). Breaches of the code can result in the Gambling Commission taking enforcement action. The CAP...
