The hon. Gentleman, although perhaps not all Committee members, will be aware that his point about the Big Lottery Fund's concern has been clearly expressed in its briefing to Members. It says in its note that it recognises the political concern about the principle of additionality and goes on to make suggestions about what definition should be in the Bill. The BLF shares our concerns, which the Government have clearly not yet accepted.
