answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>The Gambling Commission published its advice to government alongside the government’s consultation on society lotteries reform. The advice reported that to date, society lotteries have not had a statistically significant effect on National Lottery sales. The consultation presented the Government’s preferred options and sought views on legislative options to reform the society lottery sector. The consultation closed on 7 September and we received over 1,600 responses. I am now carefully considering all of the views and evidence. I hope to formally respond in the first half of next year.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 13/12/2018 17:57:01 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
