To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many National Lottery ticket sales there were in the(a) EH30, (b) EH29, (c) EH28, (d) EH 12, (e) EH4 and (f) EH11 postcode areas in each of the last 10 years; and how much was raised in each case. [138452]

Information on the number of National Lottery tickets sold is not available by postcode area. Revenue raised through ticket sales is not calculated by postcode on an on-going basis. However, in response to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Morley and Rothwell (Mr. Challen) on 22 October 2002,Official Report, columns 182–83, my right hon. Friend the Minister for Sport and Tourism placed in the Library a table listing sales by postcode area since the Lottery's launch. I will provide an update of the table to the hon. Member as soon as it is available, and place a copy in the Libraries of both Houses.
