The Culture, Media and Sport Committee announces a short inquiry into Society Lotteries
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee has announced an inquiry to examine the role of society lotteries and their place within the current system which includes the Health Lottery and the National Lottery. The inquiry will also consider the following specific issues:
- How to ensure that the market delivers the maximum benefit to good causes;
- Whether there is a case for relaxing the regulatory requirements relating either to the minimum amount of proceeds that a society lottery has to return to good causes or in other areas; and
- The comparative regulatory positions and protections attaching to society lotteries, the Health Lottery and the National Lottery.
Written submissions can be made online until Monday 6 October 2014.
