National Lottery Bill

I am grateful to the Minister for his reply. It adds clarity to the debate that we had on Second Reading. However, I have concerns about multiple licences. I do not know whether the Minister ever receives e-mails but I occasionally receive one informing me that I have just won the EuroMillions lottery. I had one today which states, ““You have just won €870,000.79””. I am told that when you reply to these e-mails and say, ““Thank you so much; please send me the money””, you are sent a message saying, ““Please send your bank account details and a cheque or draft for £2,500 before you can collect your prize””. It is clearly a con. I do not expect the Minister to give me an answer today but it would be useful in our debates and as we move forward on the Bill if the Minister could at some point come up with an answer or write to me explaining what, if this is illegal, the Government or the National Lottery Commission are going to do about it. Clearly, some people will think that they have won a prize. Not only will they be disappointed; they could easily be out of pocket. I do not expect the Minister to answer me now but perhaps, if he has a moment, he could look into it. I thank him for his explanation of the clause. Clause 6 agreed to. Schedule 1 agreed to. Clause 7 [National Lottery Distribution Fund: apportionment]:
