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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking to reduce the limit per bet on fixed-odds betting terminals.

The Government issued a call for evidence to inform the Review of Gaming Machine Stakes and Prizes and Social Responsibility Measures last year. Following on from the call for evidence the Government published on 31 October a consultation which includes options on reducing the maximum stake on fixed-odds betting terminals. The attached consultation, and its accompanying impact assessment, are attached and can be found at:
