Response

Thank you for your request which has been processed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

In your email you have requested the names of all organisations and/or individuals that the Gambling Commission has referred to the Office for Statistics Regulation for the misuse of Official Statistics.

I can confirm that at this stage the Commission has referred only the Betting and Gaming Council to the Office for Statistics Regulation for the misuse of Official Statistics.
