§ Mr. SheermanTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what steps she is taking to eliminate the sale of national lottery tickets to under-age children. [4719]
§ Mr. SproatLast week I welcomed the announcement made by the Director General of the National Lottery, who is responsible for regulatory matters, about the new action designed to stamp out under-age lottery sales. I am also holding discussions with the police, the Home Office and other parties about the enforcement of the law governing the sale of tickets to under-16-year-olds.
