National Lottery

Lord Phillips of Sudbury Excerpts

Tuesday 18th December 2012 Lords Chamber

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

I have noted the noble Lord’s question.

[Lord Phillips of Sudbury]

My Lords, I declare an interest as a member of the National Lotteries Charities Board at its inception. Given the booming income of the National Lottery and other lotteries, has any work been done on the anti-social effects of this huge amount spent by the public?

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

I do not believe that there is an anti-social effect. I am not entirely clear what my noble friend is aiming at, but perhaps I can talk to him later.
