Further details will be announced in due course.</p><p>Following the increases in July 2020 and the review of their impact published in March 2022, there are no plans to make further policy changes to society lottery sales and prize limits. Funding raised by the large society lottery sector is continuing to grow, as data published by the Gambling Commission since the review shows.</p><p>My department will keep engaging constructively with their counterparts across the sector and government to continuously monitor the impact of rising energy costs on the charity and broader civil society sector.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 22/09/2022 15:03:12 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
