National Lottery Bill

The hon. Gentleman says that new clause 2, which was tabled by the Conservatives, would tighten up the arrangements in some respects, but it suggests that lottery distributors should consider whether the Government ““would usually be”” the source of the provision. The word ““usually”” implies that a category of activities and projects would not fall within the proposed definition. How on earth will the lottery bodies make a distinction between the two? Unless we state that the Government will always make such provision—that could be impractical as well—new clause 2 is a dead letter, is it not?
