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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, for what reason the Government has delayed the publication of the Gambling White Paper.

Our review of the Gambling Act 2005 is the most comprehensive review of gambling regulation since the 2005 Act came into force. We received over 16,000 responses during the call for evidence and are considering all the evidence carefully. We will publish a white paper setting out our conclusions and next steps in the coming weeks.
