answer text <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.</p><p> </p><p>GambleAware is the leading charity commissioning research, education and treatment, and currently asks operators to donate a minimum of 0.1% of their Gross Gambling Yield (GGY). Most do, with GambleAware receiving £9.4m in 2017/18. Industry also made donations to other bodies supporting research, education and treatment, bringing industry’s collective support for RET to above 0.1% of its GGY.</p><p><ins class="ministerial">We considered research, education and treatment as part of our Review of Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility and published our response on 17 May. The Review looked at protections across the gambling industry and support for those who experience harm, including the arrangements for funding support.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">We want to see an effective and sustainable voluntary system, with improved coordination and better understanding of what measures are most effective to ensure future funding increases will be spent in the most effective way. Our response outlined a number of initiatives for improving the current system, increasing access to services and strengthening the evidence base. The Government does not consider that introducing a statutory levy is necessary or appropriate at this stage.</ins></p><p> </p>

answer text <p><del class="ministerial">Government’s strategy ‘Sporting Future: A New Strategy for An Active Nation’ and Sport England’s strategy ‘Towards an Active Nation’ highlight the importance of focusing on groups that are particularly unlikely to take part in sport and physical activity, such as women and girls and some Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups. It places a clear emphasis on putting the customer first and there are some innovative programmes to encourage female and BAME participation in sport, such as the This Girl Can Swim campaign.</del></p><p> </p><p><del class="ministerial">But as the Government’s sport strategy makes clear, participation is not just about playing sport, and the &quot;Sports Governance Code&quot;, launched in October 2016, seeks to ensure the very highest standards of governance across all sport bodies that receive public money, including in terms of diversity, and aims to help the sport sector to be more inclusive and welcoming to all. If sports bodies do not adhere to the code and cannot demonstrate full commitment to becoming compliant with its requirements they will not be eligible to receive public funding</del>.</p><p> </p><ins class="ministerial">Through its London 2012 legacy programme, Places People Play, Sport England invested a total of £2,225,541 in 13 grassroots sports projects in the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell. This included an investment of £1.5m of National Lottery money in the Portway Lifestyle Centre in Sandwell which opened in 2013. Portway Lifestyle Centre is an excellent example of a community wellness hub, and one of the first in the UK to bring social care, health and leisure services together under one roof, combining an NHS family practice with a range of health, social care and sports facilities.</ins> <ins class="ministerial">Birmingham has bid for the Commonwealth Games in 2022 and, should the bid be successful, the Sandwell Aquatics Centre would be upgraded to include an iconic diving venue and community facility. This would provide a legacy for the local community, catering for everyone from beginner swimmers through to elite divers, with the provision of much needed facilities within the Black Country and West Midlands.</ins>

The specification that we consulted on was for a sync speed of at least 10Mbps. Ofcom says that a 10Mbps sync speed meets the needs of a typical household.</ins></p><p> </p>

answer text <p><del class="ministerial">The Government and local bodies together are investing £1.7 billion of public money to support vital improvements in broadband services across the UK. Superfast broadband coverage reached 95% of premises in December 2017 – up from 45% in 2010. Many of the premises reached had exchange only lines.</del></p><p> </p><p><del class="ministerial">For any premises not covered by superfast broadband, as confirmed in our announcement in December 2017, we are pushing ahead with our plans for a Universal Service Obligation (USO) so that by 2020 everyone across the UK will have a clear, enforceable right to request 10 Megabit per second broadband.</del></p><p> </p><p><del class="ministerial">Within London the Government expects superfast broadband coverage to be provided by the private sector and is encouraging providers to tackle remaining issues including exchange only lines.</del></p><p><ins class="ministerial">Consumers can register their landline and mobile telephone numbers with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), which helps prevent them receiving unsolicited nuisance marketing calls. The TPS is a free service and consumers can register at the following address: http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/number_type.html.</ins><br /></p><p><ins class="ministerial">In addition, phone companies provide consumers with a range of services to protect them against nuisance calls. It is for phone companies to decide whether to offer these services for free or for a charge. The Government welcomes services being provided free, or at low cost, for the benefit of consumers.</ins></p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Information on projects in receipt of a Lottery award can be found on the National Lottery Grants Database at the following link: <a href="http://www.lottery.culture.gov.uk" target="_blank">http://www.lottery.culture.gov.uk</a> and from Lottery Distributors’ own websites. The grants database can be sorted on a national, regional, local authority and constituency level.</p><p> </p><p>West Yorkshire is not a definable search area under the parameters of the Database. The table below therefore shows total value of the National Lottery grants awarded between 2010-11 and 2016-17 in Leeds North West constituency and to local authorities comprising the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. The figures for grants awarded in 2017-18 will be confirmed at the end of March 2018.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">Leeds North West (constituency)</ins> <ins class="ministerial">£</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">West Yorkshire</ins> <ins class="ministerial">Combined Authority</ins> <ins class="ministerial">£</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2010</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">508,878</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">30,154372</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2011</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">240,047</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">40,616,214</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2012</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">1,170,928</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">76,986,035</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2013</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">1,221,304</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">53,423,014</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2014</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">1,396,641</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">155,231,738</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2015</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">294,827</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">41,626,148</ins></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2016</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">2,912,216</ins></p></td><td><p><ins class="ministerial">66,072,087</ins></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p>
