Dear Lord Bishop,
As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking how many customer suicides have been reported by gambling operators in each of the past five years (HL4504). The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes statistics on deaths registered in England and Wales. Mortality statistics are compiled from information supplied when deaths are certified and registered as part of civil registration. As gambling operators do not contribute to this process, the ONS does not hold any information on suicides that have been reported by gambling operators.
Yours sincerely,
Professor Sir Ian Diamond
The Church of England in Parliament
