answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2018 answer text <p>Under the Data Protection Act 2018, the Information Commissioner must conduct a statutory review of the media’s compliance with the Act during the first four years of its operation, with specific consideration of the extent of compliance in each part of the United Kingdom. Alongside that review, a named person will review journalistic compliance with data protection rules in Northern Ireland. This approach, details of which will be finalised in due course, reflects the fact that while data protection is reserved, press regulation is devolved.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 26/06/2018 12:03:44 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

tabling member printed	Lord Chadlington
uin	HL8490
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2018 answer text <p>Following the British Gambling Prevalence Survey (BGPS) in 2010 it was decided to include questions about gambling participation and the experience of gambling problems in national health surveys. Since then, data from the 2012 and 2015 Health Surveys for England and Scotland as well as the Problem Gambling Survey Wales 2015 has been used to assess rates of problem gambling. The health surveys have a similar methodology to the BGPS and target the same population group, while also allowing for cross-referencing of health and demographic variables with those related to gambling. There are no plans to change this method of data collection.</p><p> </p><p>The Gambling Commission also monitors gambling participation and prevalence through quarterly telephone and online surveys with people aged 16 and over in Great Britain, conducted independently by Populus. Each survey captures the past four weeks’ gambling behaviour, including problem gambling estimates, consumer awareness of gambling tools and perceptions and attitudes towards gambling. These are collated into annual gambling behaviour reports.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 21/06/2018 14:07:15 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
