answer text <p>Social gaming is already covered by existing consumer protection legislation and other regulatory bodies. Evidence of the transition from social games to real money gambling is limited, however the Gambling Commission continue to monitor participation in social casino games. The Gambling Commission position paper, published in March 2017, concluded that there is not a persuasive case to pursue further regulatory intervention in social gaming.</p><p>The Government expects the social casino industry to adopt a socially responsible approach and awareness of potential harm.</p><p> </p><p>Government will not hesitate to take action if it is needed to protect young people from gambling-related harm.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>We have not seen any evidence that UK airstrikes have been responsible for causing civilian casualties in Iraq or Syria since 1 January 2017. After each strike, we perform a detailed battle damage assessment which includes video evidence which is used to assess the success of the mission.</p><p>None of the allegations we have received so far have been found to contain any evidence that RAF airstrikes have caused civilian casualties. While no military operations come without risk, we take all steps necessary to minimise the risk of causing civilian casualties and avoidable damage to civilian infrastructure. All weapons employed by RAF aircraft are delivered in strict accordance with the Law of Armed Conflict and within rigorous Rules of Engagement.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The single Services are required to consider the impact of any new equipment or upgrade across all the Defence Lines of Development (DLODs). One of these is the training DLOD. Consequently, when new equipment is introduced or upgraded there is a requirement for a training needs analysis which breaks down new training requirement(s). This looks at any training gap against current training and develops training solutions, and recommends an optimal one based on cost, benefit and risk. This process is conducted in accordance with the defence systems approach to training process, which is governed by a steering group of stakeholders from across the DLODs who endorse the training solution and then ensure any required changes are implemented.</p> more like this
