HC Deb 10 April 1974 vol 872 c215W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he proposes to introduce a national lottery.

Dr. Summerskill

The arguments for and against a national lottery were considered by the Interdepartmental Working Party on Lotteries, whose report was published in December. We shall be assessing reaction to the working party's recommendations on this and other aspects of the law on lotteries, pools and prize competitions.
