Lotteries: Charities

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will make an estimate of the amount of funding generated by society lotteries for charities and causes in each parliamentary constituency in (a) 2020, (b) 2021 and (c) 2022.

Answer

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.
