The programme will run for up to 10 years and will provide long term support and investment to launch and grow enterprise ideas, with funding largely devolved to local partnerships.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 21/03/2019 14:20:44 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of potential merits for his policies of the Gambling Commission’s recent findings that 55 per cent of charity lottery players do so in order to support good causes in contrast to only 15 per cent of National Lottery players and 5 per cent of scratchcard players.

uin	232635
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2019 answer text <p>The Gambling Commission’s recent findings highlight one of the key differences between the National Lottery and society lotteries with the National Lottery characterised by high life-changing prizes and society lotteries characterised by smaller prizes and linked to a dedicated charity or good cause such as a local hospice or air ambulance. We are currently consulting on potential changes to society lottery sales and prize limits and will consider the Gambling Commission’s findings as part of our response. In addition, we are working with National Lottery good cause distributors and Camelot to increase players’ understanding of the good causes that benefit from the National Lottery.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 21/03/2019 14:28:54 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
