Mr. Maurice Macmillan

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what has been the income of local authorities over the past 12 months resulting from holding lotteries; and which councils have received the greatest amount of revenue from this source.

Dr. Summerskill

I understand that provisional figures for the total amount of income to local authorities from lotteries are £3,643,528 for lotteries held during the year 1st May 1977 to 30th April 1978 and £534,888 for lotteries held in the period 1st May 1978 to 22nd June 1978. Information about the amounts received by individual authorities is not readily available.
