§ Mr. Peter LloydI beg to move amendment No. 170, in page 19, line 26, after 'for"' insert 'under'.
§ Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Geoffrey Lofthouse)With this it will be convenient to discuss Government amendment No. 171.
§ Mr. LloydThe amendments ensure that smaller lotteries, probably those that operate a series of single 1102 lotteries with a turnover of less than £10,000, that are registered with the Gaming Board may pay an annual fee rather than a fee per lottery, as happens now. That will help to keep down the size of the total fees that they pay. I hope that, in conjunction with my acceptance of amendment No. 97, the amendments will meet with the approval of those who have the interests of small lotteries at heart, because it will improve the position of the organisations that run them.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Amendments made: No. 171, in page 19, line 27, after `substituted"' insert `, or provide that no fees are payable, under'.
§ No. 172, in page 19, line 31, leave out 'monetary limit' and insert 'sum specified'.—[Mr. Kirkhope.]
