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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will take steps to increase the maximum payout for complex category D gaming machines.

Category D gaming machines are the only gambling product that children are permitted to play. Public tolerance for children and gambling is, quite rightly, very low. Therefore the case for increasing the stake and prizes would need to be extremely compelling to make me reconsider the current levels.
