answer text <p>In August 2017 NatCen, commissioned by the Gambling Commission, published a report using 2015 Health Survey data into gambling behaviour in Great Britain, including problem gambling prevalence rates. The report identified 0.8% of the adult population as problem gamblers, which is a similar rate to that found in the British Gambling Prevalence Survey published in 2012. The NatCen report does not provide a breakdown by venue, but problem gambling rates by activity are available in table 4.5. The report can be found here:<a href="http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/PDF/survey-data/Gambling-behaviour-in-Great-Britain-2015.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/PDF/survey-data/Gambling-behaviour-in-Great-Britain-2015.pdf</a></p> more like this

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to those affected by this terrorist crime.</p><p>All individual case funding decisions are taken by the Legal Aid Agency.
