answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2015 answer text <p>​ ​The law already stipulates that no more than one betting premises licence may be in effect for any premises at the same time. Local licensing authorities need to ensure that when they grant premises licences, they do so only for genuinely separate premises. The Gambling Commission’s statutory guidance to licensing authorities gives clear advice to licensing authorities on how to carry out this function.</p><p>Details of ministerial meetings are published quarterly on the <a href="http://gov.uk/" target="_blank">gov.uk</a> website and are available at</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?keywords=&amp;%20publication_filter_option=transparency-data&amp;topics%5B%5D%20=all&amp;departments%5B%5D=department-for-culture-media-sport&amp;official_document_status=all&amp;world_locations%5B%5D%20=all&amp;from_date=&amp;to_date" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?keywords=&amp;%20publication_filter_option=transparency-data&amp;topics%5B%5D%20=all&amp;departments%5B%5D=department-for-culture-media-sport&amp;official_document_status=all&amp;world_locations%5B%5D%20=all&amp;from_date=&amp;to_date</a></p> answering member constituency Maidstone and The Weald answering member printed Mrs Helen Grant question first answered 16/03/2015 16:12:49 answering member 4018 label Biography information for Mrs Helen Grant
