Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on National Lottery Bill.


National Lottery Bill

I am happy to clarify my earlier remarks. I was trying to say that although constituencies, including the hon. Gentleman’s and mine, have benefited significantly—especially in economic, social and environmental regeneration projects—the impact on Government expenditure of a wholesale transfer of the lottery money to their coffers would be tiny. Therefore, what would be the incentive for the Government to do that? Is the hon. Gentleman suggesting that the Government are trying to drive down the tax bill to the cost of those buying lottery tickets?
