Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Mims Davies and Pauline Latham

Thursday 11th April 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mims Davies]

The national lottery has raised over £39 billion for good causes since 1994, funding projects in every constituency throughout the UK. It is my job, as we move into the fourth licence, to ensure that it thrives for the next 25 years. The opportunity to re-engage with communities and the public is there for us. If there is a particular concern relating to the hon. Gentleman’s constituency, I will be happy to take it forward to the national lottery.

[Mrs Pauline Latham (Mid Derbyshire) (Con)]
