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

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they are conducting an assessment of the impact of gambling advertising independent from the gambling industry.

This Government has set the gambling industry the task of further raising standards to ensure gambling advertising is appropriate, responsible, and does not exacerbate harm. The Betting and Gaming Council has commissioned an advertising report which will be published in due course. We are committed to reviewing the best available evidence from a wide range of sources to inform next steps in this space. We are also working with all key stakeholders in order to ensure effective measures are in place to protect those at risk.
