Clause 29 - The Olympic lottery distributor
Horserace Betting and Olympic Lottery Bill
10:00 am
Mr Richard Caborn (Minister of State (Sport and Tourism), Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Sheffield Central, Labour)
Just a one-liner this time. The question of the number of staff is difficult, but the intention is to make sure that there is a quick clearing out, which is very focused and hypothecated. We want to keep both the committee and the number of staff to a minimum. The committee will be more of a conduit than an operations board, so we would expect a small number of staff to make sure that it works efficiently and effectively.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 29 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Schedule 5 agreed to.
