answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2015 answer text <p>​ ​The law already stipulates that no more than one betting premises licence may be in effect for any premises at the same time. Local licensing authorities need to ensure that when they grant premises licences, they do so only for genuinely separate premises. The Gambling Commission’s statutory guidance to licensing authorities gives clear advice to licensing authorities on how to carry out this function.</p><p>Details of ministerial meetings are published quarterly on the <a href="http://gov.uk/" target="_blank">gov.uk</a> website and are available at</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?keywords=&amp;%20publication_filter_option=transparency-data&amp;topics%5B%5D%20=all&amp;departments%5B%5D=department-for-culture-media-sport&amp;official_document_status=all&amp;world_locations%5B%5D%20=all&amp;from_date=&amp;to_date" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?keywords=&amp;%20publication_filter_option=transparency-data&amp;topics%5B%5D%20=all&amp;departments%5B%5D=department-for-culture-media-sport&amp;official_document_status=all&amp;world_locations%5B%5D%20=all&amp;from_date=&amp;to_date</a></p> answering member constituency Maidstone and The Weald answering member printed Mrs Helen Grant question first answered 16/03/2015 16:12:49 answering member 4018 label Biography information for Mrs Helen Grant

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2015 answer text <p>This Government wants to ensure that offshore-based online gambling operators pay their fair share to the funding of horseracing. We have identified two options for achieving this: reforming the existing Horserace Betting Levy or replacing the Levy with a Horserace Betting Right and have published three consultations, the third of which closed on 12 March. We are currently analysing the responses. Implementing either option will require legislation.</p> answering member constituency Maidstone and The Weald answering member printed Mrs Helen Grant question first answered 16/03/2015 16:15:47 answering member 4018 label Biography information for Mrs Helen Grant

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>I have not held any discussions with the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills or UKRep on this issue. I am determined to extend the Horserace Betting Levy to offshore operators. However simply extending the existing arrangements has proven more difficult than envisaged. Extension is now bound up with wider reform and we will seek to bring about extension either by reforming the Levy or replacing it with a racing right.</p><p> </p><p>A consultation on a racing right will allow us to make a full comparison between reform and replacement. The consultation will be launched early in the New Year. Once we have a preferred option we will discuss that with the European Commission.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maidstone and The Weald answering member printed Mrs Helen Grant grouped question UIN 217314 217330 217332 question first answered 15/12/2014 17:02:08 answering member 4018 label Biography information for Mrs Helen Grant
