I am a little perplexed by paragraph (c) of new Section 25E, on which the noble Viscount has just concentrated, because it gives power to any of the distributing bodies to encourage,"““participation in activities relating to the National Lottery in general””."
Why is it not proper for the national charities distributing body to encourage participation in activities relating to that distributing body, rather than ““the National Lottery in general””? I can see why, if you were going to include an encouragement provision, you would want encouragement to be possible of the lottery as a whole; but it seems more natural for a distributing body to concentrate on the issues that are germane to it in seeking to encourage engagement. Is there an intention to exclude that possibility by referring only to the ““National Lottery in general””? That would seem perverse.
