answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2018 answer text <p>DCMS requested advice from the Gambling Commission on potential reforms to society lotteries following the publication of the Select Committee’s report in March 2015. The Gambling Commission were asked to make recommendations considering three high level objectives:</p><p> </p><ol><li>The regulatory framework for society lotteries should not be overly burdensome and new entrants should not face unnecessary barriers;</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="2"><li>Public trust and confidence in society lotteries and the good causes with which they are associated should be maintained;</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="3"><li>Reform should not jeopardise the position of the National Lottery and its returns to good causes.</li></ol><p> </p><p>This advice was published in June 2018 alongside the consultation on society lotteries which closed on 7 September 2018.</p><p> </p><p>Evidence from the Gambling Commission suggests that to date society lottery sales have not significantly impacted the National Lottery. Any changes must maintain this balance, enabling society lotteries to grow without detriment to the National Lottery.</p><p> </p><p>The consultation received over 1,600 responses and my officials are now in the process of considering the range of views that were submitted, including evidence about the potential impact on the National Lottery. I hope to formally respond to the consultation in the first half of 2019.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 05/12/2018 16:08:28 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2018 answer text <p>There is no specific government policy regarding the flying of flags and no guidance is issued to government departments to display county flags to commemorate annual county days.</p><p> </p><p>However, current planning regulations allow local and county flags to be flown by individuals without planning permission, and as such government buildings may choose to display the relevant county flag on the respective county days. Unfortunately, as flag flying is now deregulated, DCMS does not hold records on the flying of flags by other government departments, other than on the designated days for flying the Union Flag.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 05/12/2018 11:07:05 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

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.

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.
