On the question of the proportion of the sales proceeds that goes towards good causes - this would be governed by the licence - Mr. Sloyan might clarify the current procedure for the committee. In his opening remarks he said, "Under the licence, the amount allocated to good causes is equal to 65% of the difference between total net sales and the amount in respect of prizes". Is there a minimum percentage of sales that must go towards prizes?
