Proceeding contribution from Lord Swire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on National Lottery Bill.
National Lottery Bill
If the hon. Gentleman had finished the preface written by Sir John Major, which was not quoted in the Daily Mail, he would have seen that Sir John referred to the millennium fund, which wound up at the end of 2000. He intended that the resources released from that should be used to promote school sports. Instead, he says, the money was siphoned off by the Labour Government. That goes some way to answering the comments by the hon. Member for North-West Leicestershire (David Taylor). It is not necessarily the quantity of money, but the principle.
