§ Mr. WilsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what discussions he has had with the Scottish Sports Council regarding the possible free movement of lottery tickets in the EC post-1992.
§ Mr. Michel Forsyth[holding answer Thursday 12 December]: I have discussed this matter and others relating to the Scottish Sports Council's support for a national lottery with the chairman and members of the Scottish Sports Council, on a number of occasions. I have confirmed the advice which I have received that the sale of foreign lottery tickets in the United Kingdom can be controlled by domestic law as it stands.
