CHARITY LOTTERY ANNUAL SALES LIMIT

Motion Text

That this House supports the Government's preferred option of a new £100 million annual sales limit for charity lotteries as it will allow such lotteries to reduce bureaucracy and administration costs and thus return more to good causes; notes that a new £100 million annual sales limit is the recommendation from the official regulator The Gambling Commission; welcomes that it has the support of many charities and voluntary sector organisations; further notes that setting the limit at £100 million will future-proof it for the decade ahead; and calls on the Government to implement the new limit as soon as possible.
