Gambling levy: Comment from CMS Committee Chair Dame Caroline Dinenage MP

Commenting on the announcement of a new statutory levy on the profits of gambling operators,Chair of the CMS Committee, Dame Caroline Dinenage MP, said:

“The introduction of a statutory levy should act as a boost to efforts to prevent harm caused by gambling and improve support for those affected. The Government must now ensure a smooth and considered transition from the voluntary system. This is a significant sum of money and it is vital it is distributed with care and thought.”
