Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have commissioned small-scale qualitative research to assess the appropriate stakes for category B2 gaming machines.
The Government set out four illustrative options at consultation for a stake reduction on B2 gaming machines. We are considering all the available evidence, including advice from the Gambling Commission and published research, and will set out our response in due course. As part of this the Government intends to publish the key responses to the consultation, subject to the respondents permission.
The following table lists the meetings that civil servants have had with stakeholders where the consultation was mentioned or discussed since it was launched on 31 October 2017. Details of Ministerial meetings are published quarterly on gov.uk
