Proceeding contribution from Viscount Astor (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 March 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on National Lottery Bill.


National Lottery Bill

Before the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, replies, I would like to press the Minister on one issue. Paragraph (c) in Clause 11 talks about,"““encouraging participation relating to the activities relating to the National Lottery in general””." It is the words ““in general”” that give us some concern. Following what the Minister said about the promotional board, perhaps he would consider allying our fears by considering a better wording for that clause that made it absolutely clear to the distributing bodies that they were promoting that part of the National Lottery, and not the part that relates to Camelot. Perhaps some redrafting could be considered.
