There has been much talk about player welfare. I hope this is an area that the national lottery plans to improve, based on the responses earlier. If player welfare is a serious consideration, then this aspect needs to be quantifiable. We are the Committee of Public Accounts and this is how we deal with things. We must be able to assess whether an agency or company we are dealing with is serious about something it says is a priority. The way in which we do that is to be able to get some form of an assessment regarding how much is being spent and how many people are being prioritised in respect of their workload in that area. Moving on, the online purchase of lotto tickets has increased in recent years. A greater emphasis has been placed on this aspect by the company's marketing. People are being encouraged to go down this route. What percentage of overall sales does this product constitute now?
