answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2018 answer text <p>While we consulted on a number of areas in the consultation, the primary focus of deregulating the commercial radio sector is to give service providers more freedom to run their businesses in the way that best suits them. Although removing out-dated regulations will be welcome to many service providers, there will be no obligation for stations to change the way they currently operate. We do not expect the proposals to negatively impact the nations, including with regards to Welsh-specific content.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 28/02/2018 12:55:10 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2018 answer text <p>Protecting children and the vulnerable from being harmed or exploited by gambling is a core objective of the regulation of gambling in Great Britain, and a priority for the government. Operators offering gambling services to people in Great Britain must have a licence from the Gambling Commission and must have effective policies and procedures designed to prevent underage gambling.</p><p> </p><p>The Gambling Commission run an annual survey of gambling behaviour among 11-16 year olds in Great Britain, which gives an estimate of rates of participation in gambling activities and problem gambling. The 2018 survey will include a sample of 17 year olds and is likely to be published later this year.</p><p> </p><p>In August 2017 the Gambling Commission published a report using Health Survey data into gambling behaviour in those aged 16 years old and over.</p><p> </p><p>The 2017 Young People and Gambling report found that 12% of 11-16 year olds had spent their own money on gambling in the week prior to completing the survey, down from 16% in 2016. Although some forms of gambling are legal for 11-16 year olds, for example, betting between friends or on crane grab machines in Family Entertainment Centres, the law is clear that children are not allowed to gamble in pubs, betting offices or bingo halls. Where there is a failure to prevent underage gambling, the Gambling Commission has a range of powers to act, including regulatory and/or criminal action. The Gambling Commission is funded on a cost-recovery basis by licence fees paid by operators.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of dedicated treatment for gambling disorders is administered by the charity GambleAware who commission the National Gambling Helpline and a national network of treatment services, mostly through GamCare. These are available to problem gamblers of any age, including young people. Problem gamblers can also access treatment services in primary and secondary care including specialised mental health services. Local authority commissioned specialist drug and alcohol services may also be able to offer treatment where a service for broader addictions has been specified.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch grouped question UIN 127215 question first answered 20/02/2018 13:36:24 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

UK Sport and Sport England are working with the other organisations that they fund to assess compliance against the Code and are now working to develop and embed an ongoing, risk-based approach for assessing whether organisations continue to be compliant over the longer term.</p><p> </p><p>The transparency expectations in the Code (Principle 3) place an onus on the funded organisation and emphasise the importance of providing clear and relevant information to stakeholders regarding the funded organisation’s decision-making and performance. One of the aspects of the Code is that organisations subject to it are expected to publish an Annual Governance Statement which should provide a summary of how the organisation in question is complying with the Code, including any areas that require action or improvement.</p><p> </p><p>We have been clear that compliance with the Code for Sports Governance is not a tick box exercise and that the sport and physical activity sector needs to make substantive and enduring changes to the way it approaches governance to secure lasting improvements.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also been clear that organisations must continue to strive to embrace and live the values, cultures and behaviours that are at the heart of the Code, and that any organisations deemed at any stage to be non-compliant with the requirements of the Code are at risk of having their funding removed.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to discuss with the leadership of Sport England and UK Sport in the coming months the effectiveness of the Code and the impact it is having within the sector.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 20/02/2018 13:33:59 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
