To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of reducing Pool Betting Duty to 10 per cent on the industry and economy of the north of England.
No recent estimate has been made. The Government recognises the popularity of the Football Pools. But reducing Pool Betting Duty is likely to have a negligible effect and could put revenue at risk, particularly through incentivising switching of products from fixed odds bets to pooled bets. HM Treasury however keeps all taxes under active review.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the equity of the level of tax on the football pools industry.
The football pools industry is subject to Pool Betting Duty (PBD). PBD also covers a range of gambling activity beyond the football pools. PBD is charged at 15% on gross profits (stakes minus prizes), which is the same rate as for general betting. This has been constant since 2002.
All taxes are kept under review and the rate of PBD is considered as part of the Budget process.

The rate of duty on the Football Pools and Bookmakers was set by the previous Government. Reducing Pool Betting Duty to 10% is likely to have a negligible effect on the Football Pools, but could put revenue at risk particularly through incentivising switching of products from fixed odds bets to pooled bets. HM Treasury however keeps all taxes under active review.

No assessment of the impact of reducing the rate of Pool Betting Duty to 10% has been made. Pool Betting Duty covers a range of gambling activity that goes wider than the football pools.
Due to the ease of changing between pools betting and regular betting the Government considers it would put a significant portion of the General Betting Duty receipts at risk – which totalled £619m in 2018-19.
However, all taxes are kept under review.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make it his policy to reduce the duty on the football pools to ten per cent.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 19 February 2019 to Question 220074 on Football Pools: Excise Duties, what evidence his Department has to make an assessment of the effect of product switching if pools betting duty were to be reduced to 10 per cent.

Pool Betting Duty extends beyond the Football Pools to bets made not at fixed odds (other than horse or dog racing). This means that a range of products are currently subject to the Duty and there is potential for products to be developed in future to come within its scope in order to benefit from a lower rate.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the rate of gross profits tax levied on (a) bingo clubs and (b) the Football Pools; and for what reasons there is a difference between the two.
No assessment has been made. The government recognises the significant role that bingo clubs play in bringing local communities together and contributing to British culture. This is why the government decided to reduce the rate of bingo duty to 10%.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has made an estimate of the revenue that could accrue to the public purse from a redeveloped football pools industry.
No estimate has been made. Pool Betting Duty raises around £5m in revenue for the Exchequer per annum. Reducing the level of taxation would be likely to have at best a limited effect on the football pools. However, it could put revenue at risk, particularly through incentivising switching of products from fixed odds bets to pooled bets.
I recall, in bygone years, the fun my father had completing his pools coupon. That stands in stark contrast with the sinister attempts of corporatist, globalist gambling firms to bypass the new restrictions on fixed odds betting terminals. Will the Minister meet me and others to discuss how we can revitalise the football pools, perhaps by cutting duty on this family fun?

My mum was a big fan of doing the pools, an opportunity many people took. We have rightly taken decisive action. From the start of this month, the FOBT stake has been cut. We have been absolutely clear that harm around gambling is not confined to one product. We will always look at where there is harm and act where we see it. We want responsible business. I will of course meet my right hon. Friend to discuss his concerns.
