tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of St Albans
uin	HL532
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/08/2024 answer text <p>The Gambling Commission’s formal <a href="https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/about-us/page/guidance-on-using-statistics-from-the-gambling-survey-for-great-britain" target="_blank">guidance</a> is clear about the inaccuracies of comparing the findings of the recent statistics released in the Gambling Survey for Great Britain with previous surveys. However, we recognise the impact harmful gambling can have on individuals and their families and, as stated in the Government’s manifesto, we are committed to strengthening the protections for those at risk. The Gambling Commission’s new survey helps to show the wider picture of gambling experiences across Great Britain. The Government will consider these findings alongside the evidence from a wide range of sources to inform decisions on how best to fulfil its manifesto commitment.</p> answering member printed Baroness Twycross question first answered 06/08/2024 12:30:58 answering member 4966 label Biography information for Baroness Twycross
