National Lottery Bill

When I was canvassing a few years ago, I knocked on a door that was opened by someone who said, ““You Tories are wonderful””, which was not the usual response at the time. He continued, ““You brought in the national lottery and we won £50,000.”” However, my serious point is that two villages in my constituency, Wollaston and Irchester, want to build a community hall. They have been turned down by the lottery, and I do not understand why. Does the Minister think that the Bill will make it easier for them?
