Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Nick Palmer (Labour), on Tuesday, 2 June 1998, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 27 members in total.
LOTTERY DISBURSEMENTS
That this House notes with incredulity the Lottery decision to spend ??2.7 million on a set of football medals; recalls earlier eccentric payments such as the Churchill Diaries purchase; and calls for the abolition of the cumbersome and opaque distribution of funds by anonymous boards in favour of a simple supplement to charities' income in proportion to donations, so that (a) the Lottery reinforces charities instead of competing with them and (b) fund distribution reflects the priorities of the British people rather than the whims of anonymous unelected individuals.
