answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2018 answer text <p>An Act of Parliament is required before any UK-wide referendum can be held. It is for Parliament to debate and agree the terms under which any referendum would take place, including provisions for setting the date, franchise and the question that would appear on the ballot paper. Processes to hold any referendum must, in addition, incorporate adequate time to prepare for the poll and a minimum campaigning period. The Electoral Commission recommends that legislation relating to a poll should be clear at least six months before it is required to be implemented or complied with.</p><p>A majority of the electorate voted to leave the EU in June 2016. The British people made their choice and they want their Government to deliver on that choice. <em> </em>It is a matter of Government policy that there will not be a second referendum on our exit from the EU<em>.</em></p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 11/12/2018 17:46:13 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith

uin	HL11888
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2018 answer text <p>Neither Government nor Gambling Commission holds data on the number of problem gamblers aged 18 and over or under 18.</p><p> </p><p>The Health Survey for England and Scotland 2016 and Problem Gambling Survey Wales 2016 estimated the number of problem gamblers aged 16 and over in Great Britain as approximately 340,000, 0.7% of the population. Of these, approximately 280,000 were in England (based on 40 individuals identified as problem gamblers), approximately 40,000 in Scotland (based on 24 individuals) and approximately 20,000 in Wales (based on 29 individuals).</p><p> </p><p>All estimates are rounded to the nearest 10,000 and due to the low prevalence of problem gambling among respondents to the survey have large confidence intervals. There is 95% confidence that the true estimate for the total number of problem gamblers aged 16 and over in Britain is between 250,000 and 460,000.</p><p> </p><p>The Gambling Commission’s 2018 Young People and Gambling Report estimated that 1.7% of 11-16 year olds were problem gamblers, or approximately 55,000 if extrapolated to the population of Great Britain. This number is based on a survey completed by 2,865 children in schools in England, Scotland and Wales. Of these, 37 children were identified as problem gamblers: 30 in England, 3 in Scotland and 4 in Wales. Due to the low number of respondents it is not possible to provide robust estimates for the number of problem gamblers in each country.</p><p> </p><p>All estimates of the total figures of problem gamblers in Great Britain should be treated with caution due to the low numbers of individuals on which they are based.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 11/12/2018 12:41:17 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

It also underlined that the best interests of the child must be a primary consideration in all actions or decisions concerning children and in assessing the appropriateness of all durable solutions.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 11/12/2018 16:20:35 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
