question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government on what evidence they concluded problem gambling rates have remained relatively stable during a period of considerable growth in advertising volumes, as stated in the Government response to the consultation on proposals for changes to Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility Measures, published in May.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2018 answer text <p>The most recent large-scale report was published by the Gambling Commission in 2017, using data from Health Survey for England and Scotland 2015 and Problem Gambling Survey Wales 2015. This estimated the number of adult problem gamblers in Great Britain as approximately 430,000, 0.8% of the population.</p><p> </p><p>The number of gambling adverts on TV rose from 2007, and new types of advertising emerged such as online and on social media. There have been three other published large-scale assessments of rates of problem gambling since then: the British Gambling Prevalence Survey (BGPS) 2007, BGPS 2010 and the Health Survey for England and Scotland 2012. Over the course of these surveys there have been slight adjustments to the approach, questions and methodology, and across this period, observed rates of problem gambling have fluctuated slightly but have remained below 1%. Any observed changes are not statistically significant. The response to the Review of Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility set out a package of initiatives to strengthen protections around gambling advertising. It also recognised that there were gaps in the evidence available, and proposed measures to fill these, including significant research commissioned by GambleAware into the impact of gambling advertising on children, young people and those vulnerable to harm. This is due to be completed next year.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 15/06/2018 10:00:24 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the case for gambling operators being required to disclose the amount they donate to GambleAware; and how many operators meet the voluntary target of 0.1 per cent of annual Gross Gambling Yield.

uin	HL8263
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2018 answer text <p>We considered research, education and treatment as part of our Review of Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility. The response was published on 17 May. The review looked at protections across the gambling industry and support for those who experience harm, including the arrangements for funding.</p><p> </p><p>The Gambling Commission requires all operators licensed under the Gambling Act 2005 to make a contribution towards the research, prevention and treatment of gambling-related harm. It does not specify how much this should be, nor which organisations should be supported, but most operators fulfil this obligation by making a contribution to GambleAware, which currently asks operators to donate 0.1% of their Gross Gambling Yield (GGY). GambleAware received £9.4m in the year 2017/18. Industry also made donations to other bodies supporting research, education and treatment, bringing collective contributions to above 0.1% of its GGY.</p><p> </p><p>The government does not hold information on how much each operator donates. The Gambling Commission has committed to do more to enhance the visibility and transparency of details of industry contributions, either by operator or sector. In addition, GambleAware has announced that it plans to publish details of operator contributions on its website on a quarterly basis, and will ask operators to voluntarily self-certify whether these donations amount to at least 0.1% of GGY.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 15/06/2018 10:01:26 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

uin	148840
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>As primary healthcare providers and independent community pharmacies may be handling sensitive data about people's health, it is right that they should be subject to the same requirements as other public authorities. This includes appointing a data protection officer to inform and advise the organisation on compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation, such as the need to ensure that personal data is processed fairly and lawfully and held securely. A group of public authorities may appoint a single data protection officer, if that would be more appropriate to their size and organisational structure, as long as that person were easily accessible from each organisation.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 11/06/2018 13:11:16 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has awarded £270,000 to projects in Doncaster in the last financial year (£0.88 per capita). Since the organisation’s inception, it has awarded nearly £17m of grants to Doncaster, which amounts to £54.87 per capita. The total grants awarded in England in the last financial year totalled £4.07 per capita.</p><p> </p><p>HLF always looks to address issues around lower levels of funding, and Doncaster has been a priority development area for HLF since 2003. Under this approach, where HLF works closely with heritage and other organisations locally to increase capacity and levels of applications, it has supported 104 projects since 2003 and 129 projects since 1994. It also played a key role in the successful joint funding scheme in 2015 ‘Dosh for Donny’ alongside other National Lottery distributors, which resulted in £372,000 being awarded to the area in that financial year and an increase in small grant awards.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 11/06/2018 16:13:34 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
