Gambling regulation

Inquiry

MPs are to examine the Government’s approach to the regulation of gambling, following warnings that more needs to be done to protect people, including children, from gambling-related harm.

The DCMS Committee inquiry will be investigating the progress the Government has made in addressing the issues raised by Parliament, how to ensure regulation can keep up with innovations in online gambling and the links between gambling and broadcasting and sport.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Friday 14 July 2023. The Committee may be able to accept further written evidence but any person considering submitting evidence should email the committee team first at commonscms@parliament.uk.
