National Lottery Bill

When the Minister writes to my noble friend, will he be good enough to give an indication of the policy towards maximum and minimum? There is always an interesting question about the gap. In theory, one could put out an order in which the maximum equalled the minimum. I do not suppose that is the intention. However, the point is to ask what this regime is intended to achieve. Is it, in effect, different from the regime that has so far been put in place by policy directions instead of orders?
