Clause 1 - Funding of endowments
National Lottery (Funding of Endowments) Bill
4:15 pm
Mr Keith Simpson (Mid Norfolk, Conservative)
I thank the hon. Member for North Norfolk, my right hon. Friend the Member for South-West Norfolk and my hon. Friend the Member for South Norfolk (Mr. Bacon) for speaking so positively. I also note the suggestion made by the hon. Member for North-West Leicestershire (David Taylor), who reminded the Committee that it will shortly be national carers week. I hope that the Bill is considered against that background.
I thank the Minister for his kind comments on the Eastern Daily Press ''We Care'' 2000 appeal. I also welcome his remarks on making lottery funds more sensitive to local requirements and on the two points made by my hon. Friend the Member for North-East Cambridgeshire on Second Reading. They are all positive steps.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 1 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clause 2 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Bill to be reported, without amendment.
Committee rose at twenty-two minutes past Four o'clock.
