question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the finding by the Centre for Economics and Business Research, in a report published by bacta on 10 January, that if the maximum stake of fixed odds betting terminals were reduced from £100 to £2 the reduction in annual Gross Gambling Yield to high street betting shops would be £335 million; and how they reached the conclusion in their consultation on proposals to reduce such stakes that that reduction would be £639 million.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2018 answer text <p>The attached Impact Assessment was published with the consultation on proposals to changes to gaming machines and social responsibility measures on 31 October and can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-proposals-for-changes-to-gaming-machines-and-social-responsibility-measures. This sets out the assumptions we made in arriving at our estimates of potential reductions in gross gambling yield in high street betting shops, and acknowledged that the modelling was sensitive to changes in this set of assumptions. The CEBR report provided a range of alternative assumptions to arrive at their estimates. We will consider the CEBR report and other relevant information submitted as part of the consultation before arriving at final decisions and an updated impact assessment will be published with the Government’s response.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde attachment 1 file name Impact_Assessment_-_Consultation_on_proposals_for_changes_to_Gaming_Machines_and_Social_Responsibility_Measures (1).pdf title Impact assessment 2 file name Consultation_on_proposals_for_changes_to_Gaming_Machines_and_Social_Responsibility_Measures (1).pdf title Consultation on changes to Gaming Machines question first answered 30/01/2018 13:37:04 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

The framework for analysis in the impact assessment takes into account some isolated economic effects in other gambling markets but does not attempt to look at the effects on the rest of the economy (general equilibrium) because doing so would be disproportionate relative to the size of the policy impacts expected.
