HC Deb 12 December 1991 vol 200 c509W
Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make an estimate of the employment implications, including those for existing jobs, of the introduction of a national lottery.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

"The employment implications of a national lottery cannot be assessed with any accuracy at this stage. It is one of the matters included in the Government's further consideration of the arguments for and against allowing one or more privately run lotteries on a national scale.
