DCMS announces voluntary funding for UK
U k sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe has announced a new voluntary funding arrangement to bring in at least £15 million over the next three years for the research, education and treatment of problem gambling.
The Responsibility in Gambling Trust will continue to raise funds from the gambling industry, and are committed to raising over £5m every year from now until 2012/13. A new body, the Responsible Gambling Fund, has been set up to distribute the money.
Mr Sutcliffe said: "I am confident that the new structure will be successful. But if, in the coming months, it becomes clear that it is not working then I will not hesitate to bring in a statutory levy."
