answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>We are committed to ensuring both society lotteries and the National Lottery are able to thrive and am currently considering responses to the recent consultation on reforms to society lotteries. The consultation seeks to achieve a balance between enabling growth in the society lottery sector, while also protecting the unique position of the UK-wide National Lottery, which has raised over £39 billion for good causes since it started in 1994.</p><p> </p><p>In terms of supporting the National Lottery, work has begun with the Gambling Commission on preparations for the next licence competition, and this year is an important one for the National Lottery in marking its 25th Anniversary. I am looking forward to supporting those celebrations.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies grouped question UIN 213469 question first answered 31/01/2019 15:13:16 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2019 answer text <p>The De Minimis Assessment which accompanied the society lotteries reform consultation outlined the assessments made of the benefits to good causes of the proposals to increase sales and prize limits, including increasing the per draw prize limit to £1 million (link: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/720931/society_lottery_dma_pdf_final.pdf).</p><p> </p><p>The assessment shows that increasing these limits in line with the Government’s preferred options is likely to increase the amount of money charities and others can raise for the good causes they support. We are not in a position to quantify this at present, as we do not know how many large society lotteries will increase their sales and prize limits, or change their business models to account for the changes being proposed.</p><p> </p><p>I am currently considering the views expressed in the consultation, from meeting with stakeholders and members, including those in favour and those against these reforms, and I hope to respond in the first half of the year. I am happy to have further meetings with the Rt Hon Member and others before our response is published.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies grouped question UIN 212617 212619 question first answered 30/01/2019 12:17:12 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
