The Digital, Media, Culture and Sport (DCMS) Select Committee has launched an inquiry into the government’s regulation of gambling, due to “warnings that more needs to be done to protect people”.
The DCMS Select Committee is made up of 11 MPs – between the Conservative party, Labour Party, Scottish National Party and independents – that scrutinises the work of the DCMS as well as its associated bodies.
Today, the committee launched an inquiry into “the government’s approach to the regulation of gambling”.
“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,” the committee said.
