	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government is alive to the concerns around the clustering of betting shops. Since 2015, planning permission has been required for any new betting shops on the high street. In addition, the Gambling Act 2005 requires local authorities to set out in a statement of policy the principles by which they manage the gambling environment in the local area. The statement can be used to set out reasons for why it would be inconsistent with licensing objectives to grant additional licences in a given location e.g. safeguarding children or the vulnerable. The Gambling Commission advise that the use of the licensing statement of policy varies from one Local Authority to another, however where used effectively and regularly updated, they can provide an effective tool for appropriately rejecting new licenses or imposing conditions to improve safeguarding and avoid attempts at clustering.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch grouped question UIN 7899 question first answered 07/09/2017 14:07:17 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

	tabling member constituency	Hemsworth
	tabling member printed	Jon Trickett
	uin	8116
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/10/2017 answer text <p>Measuring the cost of problem gambling is a complicated task. The study by The Institute of Public Policy Research “Cards on the Table”, published in December 2016, estimated that the cost to the Government associated with problem gamblers ranged between £260m and £1.16bn. This reflects an estimate of the costs of public services for those individuals, but it does not capture the wider impact of problem gambling and gambling-related harm to the UK economy. The report can be found here: https://about.gambleaware.org/media/1367/cards-on-the-table_dec16.pdf</p><p>GambleAware is commissioning research to improve understanding of gambling-related harm which should lead to a set of metrics which we can use to measure the impact of gambling-related harm on a wider scale. We continue to take problem gambling and gambling-related harm seriously and welcome developments to better understand this issue.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 04/10/2017 12:23:33 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>DCMS is aware of examples which suggest that youth services can be part of combating radicalisation. For example, Active Change Foundation Ltd, one of the organisations being funded through the Youth Investment Fund, is working with young leaders to give them the skills they need to lead change in their communities. Stopping extremist recruitment is one of the areas of focus for this project.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 12/09/2017 16:47:58 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

The government supports efforts that aim to encourage disabled people, including those with Down's syndrome and autism, to become active and to fulfil their sporting potential. The government's sport strategy, Sporting Future: A Strategy for an Active Nation (published in Dec 2015), places a focus on encouraging activity amongst those less likely to be active, including disabled people.</p><p> </p><p>Government is not involved in the selection of the British team for the INAS World Swimming Championships - British entries are sanctioned by the UK Sport Association for People with Learning Disability (UKSA).
