uin	7526
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government supports the principle of facilitating a Gaining Provider Led (GPL) switching process covering the communications markets, because the process should be led by the organisation with the most interest in making the switch work effectively for the benefit of consumers, the gaining provider. A GPL switching process is already in place for consumers who switch their fixed landline telephone provider across the Openreach network, which covers the vast majority of phone lines within in the UK, taking up to ten working days. The Government is committed to continuing to reduce the potential barriers that may prevent some consumers from deciding to switch, which is why we have ensured that the Digital Economy Act 2017, made explicit Ofcom's power to set general conditions for switching within the communications markets.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 11/09/2017 08:10:13 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government is alive to the concerns around the clustering of betting shops. Since 2015, planning permission has been required for any new betting shops on the high street. In addition, the Gambling Act 2005 requires local authorities to set out in a statement of policy the principles by which they manage the gambling environment in the local area. The statement can be used to set out reasons for why it would be inconsistent with licensing objectives to grant additional licences in a given location e.g. safeguarding children or the vulnerable. The Gambling Commission advise that the use of the licensing statement of policy varies from one Local Authority to another, however where used effectively and regularly updated, they can provide an effective tool for appropriately rejecting new licenses or imposing conditions to improve safeguarding and avoid attempts at clustering.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch grouped question UIN 7899 question first answered 07/09/2017 14:07:17 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
