National Lottery: Licensing
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what is her planned timescale for further reviewing reform of annual society lottery licence limits.
- Answer
-
Society lotteries are a vital fundraising tool for many charities, community groups, sports clubs and other non-commercial organisations. We want to see them continue to thrive, alongside the National Lottery.
On 26 June 2025, the Government announced it would not be making further changes to society lottery limits, and has no plans to review this decision.
