Statement of principles

 

Start date: 30 April 2009

End date: 23 July 2009

Number of responses: 11

As a result of this consultation the Gambling Commission has now revised and published the following set of documents:

Statement of principles for licensing and regulation - September 2009

Statement of principles for determining financial penalties - September 2009

Licensing compliance and enforcement policy statement - September 2009

We have previously published two statements of principles - one on the principles for licensing and regulation, and the other on principles for determining financial penalties, as required by the Gambling Act 2005. 

Now that the regulatory regime is established, we decided to review our regulatory processes and to consult stakeholders on proposals for an updated set of associated documents.  

The intention of all the documents is to clarify, and where feasible, simplify our approach. In each case the documents are shorter than their predecessors, but the broad principles and approaches outlined remain largely the same.

The documents we consulted on are:
