HC Deb 26 February 1975 vol 887 cc573-4

Queen's Recommendation having been signified—

Motion made, That, for the purposes of any Act of the present Session to make further provision with regard to lotteries promoted on behalf of societies or as incidents of entertainments, and to authorise local authorities to promote lotteries, it is expedient to authorise—

  1. (a) the payment out of money provided by Parliament of any expenses incurred in consequence of, or in connection with, the 574 provisions of the said Act by the Gaming Board for Great Britain, and
  2. (b) the payment into the Consolidated Fund of any fees.—[Mr. Oakes.]

Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

Question put forthwith pursuant to order this day and agreed to.
