uin	211501
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2014 answer text <p>Offshore remote betting operations have not hitherto been licensed by the Gambling Commission. This means there is currently no centrally collected and publicly available comprehensive dataset of offshore remote operator profits on which to base an estimate. This will change once the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act comes into force on 1 November. We expect the Gambling Commission will be including data from remote offshore operators in their <em>Industry Statistics</em> from 2015.</p><p> </p><p>In the Government’s recent consultation <em>Extending the Horserace Betting Levy</em>, we noted that any estimates of potential additional yield extrapolated from published information such as some company accounts would necessarily be “best guesses” and could only be indicative, not least because the remote gambling market is growing very quickly. We said that the range of “best guesses” ran from £10m to £30m p.a. and sought estimates of potential additional levy yield from respondents assuming the rate of collection remained at 10.75%. Such estimates as were received in consultation responses generally fell within that bracket. The government will be publishing its response to the consultation in due course.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maidstone and The Weald answering member printed Mrs Helen Grant question first answered 27/10/2014 12:28:38 answering member 4018 label Biography information for Mrs Helen Grant

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2014 answer text <p>Promoting greater equality of opportunity in the workforce is a matter the Government takes seriously. The Government is actively engaging with leading organisations in the media industry who are working together through the Creative Diversity Network to help address the under-representation of ethnic minorities in that sector. The industry will outline the steps it intends to take at a roundtable event in early July. Equality data monitoring is among a number of issues that will be discussed. In addition, Ofcom has a number of duties relating to equality of opportunity, as set out in the Communications Act 2003. These include requiring all UK licensed radio and television broadcasters' licences to have in place arrangements for promoting equal opportunities in employment on the basis of gender, race and disability, and to review those arrangements with regard to any relevant guidance published by Ofcom.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey grouped question UIN 200433 200434 question first answered 19/06/2014 08:45:45 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
