answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2020 answer text <p>The government, with advice from SAGE, reviewed the impact of the previous tiering arrangements and decided that unfortunately stricter rules on tier 3 closures would be necessary to have an impact on the rate of transmission in very high alert areas. This led to the decision that all hospitality and indoor entertainment venues in tier 3 areas would have to close, including casinos, bingo halls and adult gaming centres. SAGE advice is independent and published on a regular basis on: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/scientific-advisory-group-for-emergencies" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/organisations/scientific-advisory-group-for-emergencies</a></p><p>The government has continued to engage with the land-based gambling sector throughout the pandemic, including with its trade associations the Betting and Gaming Council, Bacta and the Bingo Association. The Minister for Sports, Heritage and Tourism has had a series of roundtable discussions with the industry to discuss the impact of Covid-19, including representatives from two of Britain’s largest AGC operators. DCMS officials have been in regular contact with the representative trade associations and fed their views into the government decision-making process, and they are continuing to do so.</p><p>Government has set out an analysis of the health, economic and social impacts of the tiered approach, which can be found at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-health-economic-and-social-effects-of-covid-19-and-the-tiered-approach" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-health-economic-and-social-effects-of-covid-19-and-the-tiered-approach</a>.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2020 answer text <p>The Government recognises the extreme disruption the necessary actions to combat Covid-19 are having on sectors like indoor entertainment.</p><p> </p><p>That is why in order to support businesses to retain their employees and protect the UK economy, the Chancellor extended both the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), and the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme (SEISS), which will continue to be available across all three tiers on 3 December.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, the Treasury has announced support for closed businesses through the Local Restrictions Support Grants, giving businesses that are forced to close due to national or local restrictions up to £3,000 per month; this is worth over £1bn per four weeks with the new restrictions in place and will benefit over 600,000 business premises, including eligible businesses in the indoor entertainment sector.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to monitor the impact of government support on public services, businesses, individuals and sectors, including the gaming industry, as we respond to this pandemic.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 08/12/2020 09:26:55 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
