Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the effectiveness of the Safe Bet Alliance in reducing crime relating to betting shops in Yorkshire.
We have not undertaken a specific assessment of the effectiveness of the Safe Bet Alliance in reducing crime relating to betting shops in Yorkshire. We do support initiatives such as the Safe Bet Alliance which involves the industry working closely with police and other partners to help tackle and reduce crime and protect betting shop staff and customers from crime.
