HC Deb 08 December 1976 vol 922 c211W
61. Mr. Albert Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consideration he is giving to the need for a national lottery in the light of the Report by the Royal Commission on Gambling.

Dr. Summerskill

The Royal Commission has not yet made any recommendations about lotteries. We should wish to see its recommendations before reaching any conclusions about a national lottery.
