	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2018 answer text <p>As was announced at Budget 2018, the Digital Catapult will test the potential of their Field Labs concept, a small experimental trial of Distributed Ledger Technology, working with businesses, investors, and regulators, in a range of areas. We anticipate the first Field Labs will focus on the construction sector and the management of goods in ports.</p><p>The Digital Catapult, while receiving significant long-term funding from the government, is an independent private sector entity. The specific arrangements of the Field Labs, including their participants, focuses, and timing, are therefore a commercial and private decision for the management of the Digital Catapult to take, and we expect it to set out further details in due course.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 07/11/2018 12:04:53 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2018 answer text <p>Ministers have regular meetings with stakeholders in football to discuss a number of topics, and as with all sports, we encourage organisations who benefit from gambling advertising or sponsorship, including football clubs, to look at how they can contribute to raising awareness of the potential risks associated. Gambling logos are already banned on under-18 team shirts and last year the Football Association voluntarily decided to end its sponsorship partnerships with betting companies to avoid conflict with its role in enforcing rules on betting rules.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 07/11/2018 09:57:51 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
