This set out measures to strengthen protections around gaming machines, including cutting the maximum stake on B2 machines from £100 to £2, and on online gambling and gambling advertising. It also set out action on treatment and support for those who experience harm, including initiatives to improve the evidence on treatment needs and effectiveness, expand access to existing services and strengthen the voluntary system for funding support.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>A number of EU Member States operate their own public lending rights schemes which enable payments to be made to eligible rights holders for the lending of their work. However, these are not directly reciprocal to the UK’s Public Lending Right (PLR) Scheme, and decisions on whether UK-resident authors qualify for these will be for each Member State to make.</p><p> </p><p>The Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS), which represents UK authors in registering and claiming payments from lending rights schemes in Europe and elsewhere, has indicated that it supports the UK's PLR scheme remaining open to residents of EEA states. ALCS believes that this will help it to encourage relevant organisations responsible for lending rights schemes in EEA states to allow UK-resident authors to benefit from such schemes after the UK leaves the EU.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 13/12/2018 13:02:15 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

In 2017 there were three self-inflicted deaths of young adults, and no self-inflicted deaths of young people.</p><p> </p><p>There are no ‘juvenile wings of prisons’, as any site with a population that includes both adults and young people is designated as both a prison and a young offender institution. The only such establishment in the estate at this time is HMP/YOI Parc, where there were no self-inflicted deaths of young people (or of adults) in 2017.</p><p> </p><p>The safety and welfare of every young person in custody is our priority. That is why we are already investing in more front-line staff and building on our reforms to youth custody. We are expanding front-line staff capacity in public-sector YOIs by 20%, equating to over 120 new recruits. Since the creation of our youth justice reform programme last year, inspection reports have highlighted improvements in all the under-18 sites they have inspected, and we continue to drive forward these vital reforms so that we have safer, more rehabilitative young offender institutions.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 13/12/2018 16:07:28 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
