answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2022 answer text <p>Harmful gambling can cause a range of negative outcomes, including financial harms which can be lasting for individuals and those around them. While it is not possible to quantify the economic effects on individuals in society, legislation governing gambling and the requirements placed on operators by the independent regulator, the Gambling Commission, are intended to offer a wide range of protections for the population as a whole as well as more targeted interventions for those experiencing harm.</p><p>Our wide-ranging Review of the Gambling Act 2005 aims to ensure that the protections in place to prevent harm are appropriate and effective for the digital age. We will publish a White Paper setting out next steps in the coming weeks.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 07/11/2022 16:26:11 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
