To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what role the Betting and Gaming Council has had in informing Government policy on gambling advertising; if she will publish the Betting and Gaming Council’s report on gambling advertising; and what discussions she has had with industry bodies on gambling policy decisions.

The Government is committed to consulting the best available evidence on gambling advertising from a wide range of sources when assessing next policy steps in this space. It is for the Betting and Gaming Council to decide whether to publish their report on gambling advertising.
