answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2023 answer text <p>Society lotteries are an important fundraising tool for many charities and other good causes throughout the country. They are regulated as a gambling product, and require a licence from the Gambling Commission in order to operate. The Gambling Commission does not collect data on the location of beneficiaries of grant funding, so it is not possible to estimate the amount of funding generated in each parliamentary constituency.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 20/06/2023 09:36:55 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
