answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2022 answer text <p>The REUL dashboard presents an authoritative catalogue of REUL, not a complete list of REUL. To ensure the integrity of the data published, Defra undertook a quality assurance process. In the case of retained law relating to habitats, this information completed the quality assurance process only after Cabinet Office’s deadline for publication, so was not able to be included in the initial data. When the dashboard is next updated, this legislation will be added to the data set.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 05/07/2022 16:24:01 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce (1) a Community Sentence Treatment Requirement for gambling addiction, or (2) a Gambling Treatment Requirement, similar to community sentence treatments for offences where alcohol, drugs or mental health issues were an underlying factor.

Due to the complexity of gambling addiction, different approaches are used to enhance therapeutic effectiveness.</p><p>HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) is committed to increasing awareness of the hidden harms of addiction to gambling and helping to support those with a problem, at all stages of the criminal justice system. To this end, a needs analysis is planned so that we can better understand the size of the issue. The results will inform the development of an HMPPS national gambling strategy, designed to raise awareness of problem gambling and ensure that our probation officers have the confidence to help identify and signpost individuals into the most appropriate care.</p><p><br>I refer the noble Lord to the answer given to HL980 for a more detailed account of the work in hand to raise awareness and knowledge of problem gambling with prison staff, probation and the police.</p> answering member printed Lord Bellamy question first answered 30/06/2022 12:16:13 answering member 4941 label Biography information for Lord Bellamy
