Proceeding contribution from Lord Foster of Bath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 January 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on National Lottery.


National Lottery

The honest truth is that we have to take people at their word and look at as much evidence as possible. I congratulate the hon. Member for South-West Surrey on gaining from the Government the concession whereby more detailed analysis of the figures will be made available for us to study. That is very important. We now have on record an assurance, which we did not have last time, that there will not be any further raid on the lottery good causes to fund the Olympics. Although I said earlier that we expected that to be the case, it had never been put on the record. It has been put on the record today, and I welcome that.
