tabling member constituency	Leeds North East
tabling member printed	Fabian Hamilton
uin	90751
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2022 answer text <p>The society lottery annual sales limit was last increased in July 2020 as part of a wider package of changes to society lottery limits.</p><p>DCMS published a <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/review-of-society-lottery-sales-and-prize-limits/one-year-review-of-society-lotteries-sales-and-prize-limits" target="_blank">review</a> of the impact of these in March 2022. Early indicators are positive, for example the increase in the annual sales limit has allowed some multiple licensed operators who previously had annual sales in excess of £10 million, to take advantage of the new limit to restructure and become single licence holders, and use the cost savings in doing so to increase good cause returns. The review concluded that it is too soon to reach any firm view on the impact of the changes, especially during a time that the effect of the Covid pandemic made any evaluation more difficult, given changes in consumer behaviour over this period which may have had a distorting effect. We want to see more data on annual growth of the sector to fully measure their impact.</p><p>My officials will continue working with the Gambling Commission, as part of its regulatory role, to keep the sector under review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 24/11/2022 15:11:48 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the answer of 18 October to Question 59454 on Internet and Pornography: Children, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of appointing an independent ombudsman or organisation to assess (a) online harmful content and (b) pornography present on a service provider's online presence rather than by the service providers themselves.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2022 answer text <p>The Online Safety Bill introduces clear legal responsibilities on service providers to understand the risk of harm to users and put in place systems and processes to improve user safety. Service providers will be required to protect children from harmful content online, including pornography, and Ofcom will be able to take enforcement action against services which do not comply with these duties.</p><p>The Government has considered the merits of establishing an independent ombudsman to consider harmful content online, including access to pornographic material. However, it is not necessary as a number of the key functions performed by an Ombudsman, such as consumer research and advocacy for affected groups, will be performed by Ofcom as regulator. The Online Safety Bill also sets out a comprehensive range of duties on all regulated services in relation to clear and accessible complaints and redress mechanisms. Ofcom will be able to take enforcement action against services who do not comply fully with their user redress duties.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 24/11/2022 15:14:53 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2022 answer text <p>I am unable to comment on specific cases of regulatory action taken by the Gambling Commission. However, I have provided some overarching information on regulatory settlements.</p><p>Regulatory settlements are a possible outcome of Gambling Commission enforcement action, and this may include the operator paying a financial amount for socially responsible purposes. The Commission’s process for the approval of destinations of regulatory settlements ensures that only projects that meet the criteria are able to receive funds. When a project is approved, it is matched with outstanding funds and payment is arranged swiftly, with funds being ringfenced pending the payment. More information on the current process and destinations is available at the Gambling Commission’s <a href="https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/guidance/guidance-for-submitting-a-proposal-for-regulatory-settlement-funding" target="_blank">website</a>.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 24/11/2022 09:18:29 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
