§ Mr. FieldTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what estimates he has made of expenditure on Lottery ticket sales as(a) a percentage of household income and (b) a share of total ticket sales for each income decile. [97054]
§ Kate HoeyMy Department has made no such estimates. However, there is an analysis of National Lottery ticket sales by income category in the National Lottery Commission's Social Research Programme Report, 491W Number 1, published in May 1999. I have arranged for copies of this Report to be placed in the Libraries of the House.
