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

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to reduce levels of advertising and marketing of gambling, as well as the sponsorship of sporting bodies by gambling companies.

We are in the early stages of the new Government and are still considering the full range of gambling policy. However, the Government recognises the impact harmful gambling can have on individuals and their families and, as stated in its manifesto, the Government is committed to strengthening the protections for those at risk. We will consider the best available evidence from a wide range of sources to inform decisions on how best to fulfil its manifesto commitment to reducing gambling-related harm.
