Clause 7 - National Lottery Distribution Fund: apportionment
National Lottery Bill
10:45 am
Tom Harris (Glasgow South, Labour)
Will the hon. Gentleman tell the Committee whether in the National Lottery etc. Act 1993, which the Conservative Government introduced to set up the national lottery, the then Secretary of State for National Heritage reserved powers to himself to prescribe good causes? I seem to remember that, at the very least, the Government issued guidance to ensure that only good causes approved by them were set out.
