tabling member constituency	North East Fife

uin	98922
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2022 answer text <p>The society lottery annual sales limit was last increased as part of a wider package of reforms in 2020. These were reviewed 12 months after they were implemented, and the results of the review were published in March 2022. Early indicators were positive. The higher annual sales limit has allowed some multiple licensed operators who previously had annual sales in excess of £10 million, to restructure and become single licence holders, and divert the savings to good cause returns. The review concluded that it was too soon to reach any firm view on the impact of the changes, especially during a time when the effect of the Covid pandemic made any evaluation more difficult, and that more data on annual growth of the sector was required before considering any further changes. My officials will continue working with the Gambling Commission, as part of its regulatory role, to keep the sector under review.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully grouped question UIN 98923 98924 question first answered 05/12/2022 16:32:07 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
