More is not better
It’s Not the role of Lotteries Commission to Increase Gambling
“It is not the role of the Lotteries Commission to increase gambling. It is supposed to run a series of virtual gambling
monopolies, as efficiently as possible. It’s prime objective should be to prevent corruption. It is not supposed to be
trying to increase its business. Unlike other businesses, more business for the Lotteries Commission is not a
necessarily a good thing.” Said National MP Annabel Young today. “The Commission will have to rethink its view of its
role if it thinks that it is there to push gambling.”
“We put pressure on the Lotteries Commission to produce more money for charities, sport and culture but it should not
view this as a pressure to increase gambling turnover. In the last few days, we have seen some obvious areas where the
Commission will be able to make some savings in the future to produce more money for good works without increasing its
turnover.”
