The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answer on 4th November 2021:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked Her Majesty’s Government whether there are any gaming machines of any category as defined in the Gambling Act 2005 in any (1) catering, (2) retail, or (3) leisure facilities, in UK bases provided by the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes.
Baroness Goldie (Con, Ministry of Defence): I can confirm that some gaming machines are present in the facilities noted. However, I am unable to advise precisely how many there are as this information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. As indicated at the committee on the Armed Forces Bill on 2 November 2021, direction has been given by the Army for any gambling/ gaming machines on their bases to be removed.
