3 National Lottery Bill,—The Order of the day being read, for the Second Reading of the National Lottery Bill;
And a Motion being made, and the Question being proposed, That the Bill be now read a second time;
An Amendment was proposed to the Question, to leave out from the word 'That' to the end of the Question and add the words 'this House declines to give a Second Reading to the National Lottery Bill because it creates the Big Lottery Fund, which will take the National Lottery further away from its original purpose of providing new resources to charities, sport, heritage and the arts; because it breaches the principle of additionality and allows the Secretary of State too much interference over the direction of Lottery funds and distributors; because it fails to restore funding to the original four good causes, which have lost £3 billion in Lottery funding since 1998; and because it fails to give the public sufficient say in where Lottery funding will go', instead thereof.—(Mrs Theresa May.)
And the Question being put, That the Amendment be made;
The House divided.
Tellers for the Ayes, Bob Russell, Mr John Randall: 197.
