National Lottery Bill

It was as pleasurable the second time. Things that should have been funded by central Government have, in fact, been funded by the lottery. All those things are hugely important, but the lottery was established to fund the additional things in life: sport, the arts and heritage—those little extras that make life worth living both nationally and as part of communities. I hope that the Minister takes our concerns on board. They were put to him in Committee. I hope that he has heard them again and will reconsider his position.
