National Lottery
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 16 December 2015 to Question 18159, if he will (a) collect information on the derivation of National Lottery Good Cause income by region and (b) request the National Lottery publish information on derivation of its income by region in accordance with Government open data guidelines.
- Answer
-
Camelot, the National Lottery operator, releases detailed national sales information which can be found online at http://www.camelotgroup.co.uk/business/our-uk-national-lottery-operation/performance/
Camelot does not release more granular sales data due to its commercially sensitive nature.
The Gambling Commission is the National Lottery’s regulator and they oversee Camelot’s work with the aim of protecting the integrity of the Lottery, protecting players and maximising returns to good causes.
Allocation of good cause funding by the 12 Lottery distributor bodies is driven by need, and not linked to where tickets are bought, therefore Government does not collect this information.
