tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL3132
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2024 answer text <p>The Gambling Commission, Great Britain’s statutory regulator, continues to monitor industry developments in artificial intelligence, informed by the expertise of its Digital Advisory Panel. This includes the exploration and consideration of the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning by gambling operators, and engagement with the industry better to understand their uses of AI. The Gambling Commission will continue to increase its capacity and capability to deploy data science in its regulation through the formation of a new Data Innovation Hub.</p><p>All gambling operators which provide gambling services to customers in Great Britain must be licensed by the Gambling Commission, and must comply with its codes of practice. The social responsibility code requires them to have and to put into effect policies and procedures to promote socially responsible gambling. These should reduce the risk of, and seek to identify those struggling with, problem gambling. The Gambling Commission has the power to remove an operating licence where a gambling business is deploying AI in a manner that undermines the statutory licensing objectives and duties.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 19/03/2024 17:27:32 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

house id	2
legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support local charities and food banks during the increased cost of living.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL1006
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2023 answer text <p>His Majesty’s Government understands that the cost of living is affecting many civil society organisations, which are seeing increased demand as well as higher running costs. That is why, in the Budget this Spring, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a package of over £100 million for charities and community organisations across England.</p><p>This funding is split into two strands and is supporting organisations in need right now. The £76 million Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund has closed for applications, and is awarding funding to frontline organisations supporting vulnerable people and households.</p><p>The second strand, the £25.5 million Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise Energy Efficiency Scheme, is now open for applications. Eligible frontline organisations can first apply for an independent energy assessment, and can then apply for a capital grant of between £2,000 and £150,000 to install capital energy measures. Applications for assessments are now open, and applications for capital funding will be open from January 2024. More information can be found at <a href="http://www.groundwork.org.uk/vcseenergyefficiency" target="_blank">www.groundwork.org.uk/vcseenergyefficiency</a>.</p><p>HM Government is also supporting all organisations, including civil society ones, with their energy bills until March 2024 through the Energy Bills Discount Scheme.</p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 11/12/2023 16:31:25 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay
