I move amendment No. 20:


In page 15, lines 10 to 12, to delete all words from and including “shall” in line 10 down to and including “ “operator”.” in line 12 and substitute the following: “shall—
(a) be formed as a company, or
(b) if the holder is (at the time of the application for the licence) a company or a company formed in another jurisdiction, form a company, for the sole purpose of operating the National Lottery in accordance with the terms and conditions of the licence and is referred to in this Act as the “operator”.”.
The purpose of the amendment is to require that the licence holder be established as a company specifically to operate the licence, or if the licence holder is already established as a company, or is a company formed in another jurisdiction, that it forms itself as a company for the sole purpose of operating the licence.
