Proceeding contribution from Viscount Astor (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 21 March 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on National Lottery Bill.


National Lottery Bill

My amendment is grouped with this one. We support the change that the Government have made to the National Lottery etc. Act in Clause 19. The definition is clearer and better. We understand that those involved with charities are happy with it. When I tabled my amendment about political causes, I did not know that funding of political parties would suddenly become such an issue. I hope that the Minister will give me the very simple answer that my amendment is unnecessary because political parties are excluded.
