<p>The impact assessment, published alongside the consultation on gaming machines
and social responsibility measures, includes qualitative analysis regarding wider
economic effects and the impact on individuals and communities of gaming machines,
including Fixed-Odds Betting Terminals. 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. We received further evidence on costs and benefits in response to the consultation
and an updated impact assessment will be published with the Government’s final proposals.</p><p>
