Charities: Lotteries

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what plans her Department has to remove the cap on charity lottery ticket sales.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

Society lotteries are a vital fundraising tool for many charities, community groups, sports clubs and other non-commercial organisations.

We are carefully considering calls to increase or remove limits on ticket sales, alongside the results of independent research into the lotteries sector.

We will provide an update on our policy position before the Summer Recess.
