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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether his Department's proposed constitution on society lotteries, which was first announced in December 2012, will consider ways to help the sector maximise returns to good causes.

Decisions on what elements will be considered in the consultation on society lotteries have yet to be taken. We have commissioned advice from the Gambling Commission which will inform us of the scope and content of the consultation.
