question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, on the basis of Gambling Commission's research study, Young People and Gambling, published in November, what is the problem gambling rate for children and young people who gamble by (1) playing fruit machines in pubs, (2) online, (3) buying scratchcards, (4) private bets; and (5) cards with their friends; and how those rates compare with the problem gambling rates for adults in Great Britain.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>The Gambling Commission’s Young People &amp; Gambling 2018 report was 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. The data was then weighted by gender, age and region. Where sample sizes for an age group were particularly small (for example, only 66 children aged 16 completed the survey, of which two were identified as problem gamblers) these children had large weights in the final dataset. Estimates about rates or numbers of problem gamblers should therefore be treated with caution.</p><p> </p><p>Due to the small numbers both of children participating in any given gambling activity, and of problem gamblers identified by the survey, it is not possible to provide robust problem gambling rates on a per activity basis, including for those legally playing the National Lottery.</p><p> </p><p>Of the 37 respondents identified as problem gamblers, 33 had on at least one occasion in the past 12 months spent their own money on an activity which is regulated under the Gambling Act 2005.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde grouped question UIN HL11846 HL11847 HL11848 question first answered 10/12/2018 11:52:51 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2018 answer text <p>When the NCA receives notification or referrals relating to Manga or other drawn images, or computer generated imagery (CGI) material interpreted as representing a child or children involved in sexual activity, and where the material is deemed as illegal in the UK, it is investigated by law enforcement, which may include preservation orders resulting in the material being removed. If the site is outside the UK, it is reported by the NCA to the host country via Interpol channels to take appropriate action.</p><p>The NCA does not keep statistics of action taken against websites. Action to secure the takedown of websites, where the content is wholly illegal, will if the website is hosted in the UK, be progressed by the Internet Watch Foundation. The IWF Annual Report includes statistics relating to website takedown. The NCA takes action against administrators of websites hosting illegal material and individuals uploading and accessing illegal content. Data on the number of websites taken down in other countries will be available from similar organisations to the Internet Watch Foundation in other countries.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 14/09/2018 13:59:58 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

It is not possible to state precisely how many individual unlicensed websites there are, however, where websites are identified that are offering facilities for gambling to customers in Britain without the appropriate licence the Commission will take action to ensure they cease these activities. Since November 2014 the Commission has written to approximately 60 foreign online gambling websites, to remind them of the legal position and require them to immediately cease their activities in Great Britain.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 21/04/2016 14:02:36 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
