DCMS has confirmed that at present, no minister has been assigned to oversee the brief of the Gambling Review.
The statement was made in light of the Racing Post announcing on Wednesday that Stuart Andrew, DCMS current Sports Minister, would oversee gambling duties replacing Paul Scully.
This February, PM Rishi Sunak announced that DCMS would be restructured due to the government’s plan to form three new departments to strengthen Britain’s energy security, business trade and tech economy.
Sunak’s orders saw DCMS lose its duties overseeing digital affairs, which were transferred to the new Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (SIT).
