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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether he plans to introduce a cap on the amount private lotteries can raise for charities under the Legislative Reform (Exempt Lotteries) Order 2015; and if he will make a statement.

The Government has no plans to introduce a cap on the amount private lotteries can raise for charities. The existing protections in the Gambling Act 2005, including no external advertising and limitation to single sites only, will continue to apply.
