answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/05/2020 answer text <p>The Gambling Act 2005 does not create a statutory duty of care on operators, the Gambling Commission, or the Department. However, the protection of vulnerable people is one of the primary objectives of the Act, permeating many of the provisions such as the duty on the Gambling Commission to promote the licensing objectives, which include the protection of children and other vulnerable persons from being harmed or exploited by gambling. The Act created an extensive framework for player protection with a statutory basis for the protection of vulnerable people, including through licence revocation and financial penalties. The range of specific and extensive regulatory and licensing measures mean licensees are accountable for player protection failures.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 05/05/2020 08:55:27 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
