answer text The government published the Review of Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility Measures in May. 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. We take gambling-related harm very seriously and will work closely across Government and with the Gambling Commission to build on the actions outlined in the Review. more like this

answer text <p>A 2017 report prepared for the Committee on Climate Change on the competitiveness of UK energy intensive industries (EIIs) estimated that average industrial electricity prices faced by steel producers in the UK were around double those in France and Germany in 2016[1]. Since 2016 the UK has introduced an exemption for eligible EIIs from the costs of the Contracts for Difference scheme, helping to reduce the differential.</p><p>The Government recognises that industrial electricity prices are currently higher than those in some competitor economies and is committed to minimising energy costs for businesses to ensure our economy remains strong and competitive. The ability of our industries to be able to compete across Europe and globally is a priority for this Government.</p><p>The Budget on 29 October 2018 announced that £315 million is being provided for an Industrial Energy Transformation Fund to support industrial energy efficiency and decarbonisation projects to bring energy costs down for vital industries, including the steel sector.</p><p>We also continue to reduce the cumulative impact of energy and climate change policies on industrial electricity prices for key energy intensive industries. This includes a package of relief for these industries worth over £850 million since 2013, of which more than £270 million has been provided to the steel sector.</p><p>[1]Figure 2.8, Competitiveness impacts on energy-intensive industries Cambridge Econometrics March 2017: <a href="https://www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Competitiveness-impacts-on-energy-intensive-industries-Cambridge-Econometrics-March-2017.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Competitiveness-impacts-on-energy-intensive-industries-Cambridge-Econometrics-March-2017.pdf</a></p>
