Gambling Commission

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what work will be done to ensure that the Gambling Commission will not share information with overseas regulators without (1) being requested to do so, and (2) first obtaining the approval of the relevant licensee.

Answer

The Gambling Commission considers a range of criteria when sharing information and is subject to oversight on data protection and use of surveillance powers by the Information Commissioner, the Interception of Communications Commissioner and the Office of Surveillance Commissioners. In view of the complexity of this area I have asked the Gambling Commission’s Chief Executive to write to my noble Friend directly on the matter of information sharing. A copy of her letter will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
