Lotteries
Friday 24th May 2019

Asked by: Bob Blackman (Conservative - Harrow East)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

Whether he plans to increase the annual turnover limit for society lotteries to £100 million per annum.

Answered by Mims Davies - Shadow Minister (Women)

The annual sales limit was one of the limits on which the government consulted and that we are considering in our response.

I am still committed to ensuring that the regulatory framework for lotteries is appropriate and that both society lotteries and the National Lottery are able to thrive.

My aim is to allow the society lottery sector to continue to grow, while maintaining the balance between society lotteries and the National Lottery.
