Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Ian Swales (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Thursday, 31 October 2013 on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
Horserace Betting Levy
- Question
-
On Tuesday we have Second Reading of the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Bill, which proposes the introduction of a UK licence for offshore gambling providers but fails to deal with levy avoidance. Will the Minister urgently address that issue and get on with the job of producing a long-term, sustainable funding arrangement to support Redcar race course and the rest of our vital horse racing industry?
- Answer
-
The Bill is actually about increasing protection for British customers, and allowing British-based operators to compete on an equal footing with remote operators. I am sure that the hon. Gentleman approves of that. We do not intend to use the Bill to reform the levy.
