	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2015 answer text <p>The England and Scotland Health Surveys and the British Gambling Prevalence Surveys contain data on problem gambling levels going back to 1999. The approach and methodology for these different surveys are broadly comparable and show that there has been very little significant change in the levels of problem gambling since 1999, with current levels at around 0.5% of the adult population compared to 0.8% in 1999. Nevertheless the Government remains determined to tackle problem gambling and is working with the Gambling Commission and the industry to improve measures to prevent harm.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 29/06/2015 16:45:11 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
