§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord McIntosh of Haringey on 26 October (WA 118), what measures they intend to take to meet the shortfall of lottery money to sport, given the prediction in paragraph 5.11 of A Safe Bet for Success (Cm 5397) that future income generation by the National Lottery for good causes could be reduced by £70 million per annum. [HL4845]
§ Lord McIntosh of HaringeyNone, but the effect was estimated as from zero to £70 million. The good causes would all be affected equally by any impact on sales. Over the past year, sinceA Safe Bet for Success was published, lottery sales have grown well.
