answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2023 answer text <p>Our gambling white paper set out the government’s plans for modernising the regulation of gambling in Great Britain. This included a number of measures to adjust outdated and overly restrictive rules to enable the land-based sectors to thrive sustainably. The reforms strike a balance between respecting the choices of people who gamble safely, and ensuring those that are at risk of gambling harm and addiction are protected and safeguarded.</p><p>The white paper proposed a raft of changes which will benefit the land-based sector, including a reform of outdated restrictions on gaming machine supply and modernisation of payment methods across the land-based sector. Since publishing the white paper, ministers and officials have engaged with representatives across the land-based sector to understand a range of issues of interest, including stakes and prizes.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 07/09/2023 13:35:25 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
