Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how many Illegal Gambling Taskforce sub groups have been established by the Illegal Gambling Taskforce and what issue each is focussed on.

The Illegal Gambling Taskforce consists of over 50 individuals across the ministerial taskforce and its three subgroups. As set out in the Illegal Gambling Taskforce terms of reference, the subgroups focus on advertising of illegal gambling, preventing payments associated with illegal gambling, and improving cross-agency collaboration to tackle illegal gambling. The ministerial taskforce has met twice with a further meeting intended before the end of the year. The subgroups meet more frequently.
