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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the potential contribution of the reform of society lotteries to (a) charities and (b) good causes in the next five years; and when he plans to respond to his consultation on that reform.

We hope to respond to the consultation before the summer recess and the response will include a discussion of the key points raised by stakeholders including Camelot (the National Lottery operator).

Following the publication of the Government’s response we will provide a copy Camelot’s response to the consultation to the House of Commons library.
