National Lottery Bill

First, before the Minister was intervened on by the hon. Member for Cities of London and Westminster (Mr. Field), he began a set of remarks about regulatory reform legislation. I could not see where he was going with those remarks, so perhaps he will explain precisely what he means. Secondly, he has said that the chief executives of the various distributors have assured him that they will produce a report, which he has told the House will enable hon. Members to debate the matter. Without a mechanism to place the report formally before the House, however, he is not going very far in meeting the issues raised by new clause 1.
