answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text The Chancellor announced at Budget that the new stake limits for sub-category B2 gaming machines will come into effect when Remote Gaming Duty is increased in October 2019.

It remains completely committed to taking action to protect the most vulnerable in society from the harm that these gaming machines can cause and we have been clear we expect this to be a priority for the gambling industry. answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 06/11/2018 18:38:53 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
