answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2019 answer text <p>No estimate has been made. Pool Betting Duty raises around £5m in revenue for the Exchequer per annum. Reducing the level of taxation would be likely to have at best a limited effect on the football pools. However, it could put revenue at risk, particularly through incentivising switching of products from fixed odds bets to pooled bets.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 23/05/2019 16:07:48 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
