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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to allow casinos to reopen.

DCMS officials are in regular contact with Public Health England and the casino sector to discuss the protections that are needed to allow casinos to reopen safely. This includes arranging a visit for senior public health representatives to assess the measures which are in place. The Minister for Sport, Tourism and Heritage has spoken with representatives of the sector about the impacts of closure, and the government is working to ensure casinos can open as soon as the medical and scientific advice is that it is safe to do so.
