	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text The government published the Review of Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility Measures in May. This set out measures to strengthen protections around gaming machines, including cutting the maximum stake on B2 machines from £100 to £2, and on online gambling and gambling advertising. It also set out action on treatment and support for those who experience harm, including initiatives to improve the evidence on treatment needs and effectiveness, expand access to existing services and strengthen the voluntary system for funding support. We take gambling-related harm very seriously and will work closely across Government and with the Gambling Commission to build on the actions outlined in the Review. answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies grouped question UIN 908186 908188 question first answered 13/12/2018 17:40:12 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
