Context
The UK government is addressing concerns over vulnerable individuals engaging in online gambling during the pandemic.
Question
Last year, the Government announced that they had launched a consultation on the national lottery age limit, which allows 16-year-olds to buy scratch cards and gamble online. Did the Government consult on this and will they introduce national lottery regulations in line with those on all other UK gambling businesses, to protect young people from gambling-related harm?
Answer from Nigel Huddleston (Minister for Sport, Tourism and the Regions)
We did look at this issue and we will be making an announcement in due course.
