answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2020 answer text <p>The Gambling Commission conducts an annual survey of children and young people that collects data about gambling participation. Since 2014, that survey has included screening questions adapted for use with adolescents to identify respondents who may be problem gamblers. Problem gambling rates for all available years are given in the accompanying table. No comparable data is available for the years 2010-2013.</p><p>The latest published data is from 2019 and gives a problem gambling rate of 1.7% amongst 11-16 year olds, which is steady from the previous year. Changes to the survey’s methodology throughout its lifetime mean it is not possible to identify long-term trends. In 2017 the survey was extended to cover Scotland and the pool of respondents was widened to include 16 year olds, and in 2018 the survey moved online from paper-based questionnaires. Further detail about the survey and its findings can be found in its 2019 report, available at: <a href="https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/PDF/Young-People-Gambling-Report-2019.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/PDF/Young-People-Gambling-Report-2019.pdf</a></p><p>Table: Rates of problem gambling amongst 11-15/16 year olds since 2014</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>2019</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Rate of problem gambling (%)</p></td><td><p>0.7</p></td><td><p>0.6</p></td><td><p>0.4</p></td><td><p>0.9</p></td><td><p>1.7</p></td><td><p>1.7</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 15/10/2020 14:54:54 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2020 answer text <p>In line with Government guidance at the time, The National Archives was closed to the Public during the early stages of the COVID outbreak. I receive regular updates from The National Archives on the implementation of its reopening strategy, and current work to make its services safe for the public.</p><p>In order to be Covid-secure in line with scientific evidence, The National Archives has been forced to reduce the number of visitors to around 15% of usual capacity to allow for social distancing, and is implementing a 72-hour quarantine of accessed records. This inevitably impacts upon The National Archives’ ability to deliver its services as it ordinarily would. As well as this in-person service, The National Archives has continued free access to digital records through its Digital Downloads service, which has supported the download of over 1 million records by around 80,000 users since April 2020.</p><p>The measures which are currently in place are subject to weekly review and The National Archives are also undertaking surveys of users to take feedback on its provision, the results of which are shared with myself.</p><p>I appreciate that this reduced provision will have a particular impact on intensive users such as historians as well as the general public, but I and the Archives are cognizant of the need to balance the desire for greater access to public records with the need to ensure the continuing safety of The National Archives’ audiences. With this consideration in mind, I will continue to monitor the situation in collaboration with The National Archives.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 14/10/2020 13:01:17 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale

uin	HL8992
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2020 answer text <p>Ordinarily, street fundraising is estimated to raise over £130m each year for charities. It is a popular form of fundraising for some charities as it recruits long-term supporters to the charity and builds awareness of the important work they do. The charity's trustees are responsible for monitoring all types of fundraising for their charity and for taking steps to address any methods that present a reputational risk or prove a poor investment for their charity. Charity fundraising in England and Wales is subject to independent self-regulation by the Fundraising Regulator. The Fundraising Regulator promotes best practice in fundraising and compliance with its Code of Fundraising Practice.</p><p>During this difficult time, ensuring charities can safely begin fundraising activities will be a crucial part of the sector’s recovery. DCMS has worked closely with its sectors to publish guidance relating to COVID-19. This includes practical guidance and resources from the Fundraising Regulator and Chartered Institute of Fundraising supporting charities to safeguard the public, staff and volunteers as they plan to return to fundraising activities in a safe and responsible way.
