	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2015 answer text <p>Category D gaming machines are the only gambling product that children are permitted to play. Public tolerance for children and gambling is, quite rightly, very low. Therefore the case for increasing the stake and prizes would need to be extremely compelling to make me reconsider the current levels.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 22/06/2015 16:26:45 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2015 answer text <p>I have no plans to allow B2 gaming machines in amusement arcades. In April 2014 the previous Government announced action which included £50 staking measures on B2 gaming machines in bookmakers which came into force in April 2015. I think we need to give time for these regulations to bed in before we consider further legislative options. I will also want to consult with a wide range of stakeholders on this issue before thinking about next steps.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 22/06/2015 16:29:15 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
