Summary

Description

This dataset contains information sent to the Gambling Commission from licensing authorities detailing their gambling related licensing activity. Licensing authorities (LAs) have a statutory duty to provide specific information to the Commission about aspects of gambling regulation – for example, the grant of premises licences. The Commission collates and analyses the information it receives from LAs to help it, LAs and the Government understand the local and national landscape of gambling regulation. The Commission continues to work with licensing authorities in order to maximise the efficiency of data collection. As this is the third year of reporting we are able to provide year-on-year analysis of the data. This includes data provided by LAs who submitted previous returns late after the established deadline. As a consequence, the data provided in this report may differ from that published previously.
