	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2022 answer text <p>Society lotteries are a vital fundraising tool for many charities, community groups, sports clubs and other non-commercial organisations, and I am very appreciative of the role they play in supporting such a wide range of sectors. Large society lotteries raised a record £367 million for good causes between April 2019 and March 2020. Society lotteries are regulated under a different framework to the National Lottery and are exempt from paying Lottery Duty.</p><p>Reforms to society lotteries came into effect in July 2020, including significant increases in the sales limits, raising the limit for a single draw from £4 million to £5 million and the annual sales limit from £10 million to £50 million. I am pleased that since these changes we have started to see more lottery proceeds going to good causes, as the aim of these reforms was to enable both society lotteries and the National Lottery - often seen as complementary sources of income - to thrive.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 07/07/2022 13:29:54 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2022 answer text <p>There are currently eight England/UK sports governing bodies that are part of the pilot sports programme. Because sports are incredibly diverse, there can be no ‘one-size fits all’ approach and the Sports Councils Equality Group are focusing on providing space, time and support to help sports define the best options and determine whether it may be possible to offer more than one version of their sport to achieve their particular aims.</p><p>Due to the fluid nature of the process as the organisations go through their thinking and the potential for this work to come to fruition at different stages, the Sports Councils Equality Group are respecting and protecting this space and not disclosing the detail of these sports at this time.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 08/06/2022 15:02:12 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
