Clause 7 - National Lottery Distribution Fund: apportionment
National Lottery Bill
11:00 am
Tom Harris (Glasgow South, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman makes a valid point, but we must accept that the vast majority of the public do not make that great a distinction between the national lottery and the Government. They see the Big Lottery Fund as a creation of the Government, and when things go wrong and the fund makes bad decisions, they do not blame the fund, they blame the Government.
