Public Accounts Committee

Payments to Section 39 Companies: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. John McGuire:

The only sales of our total lottery sales which qualify for assistance under the charitable lotteries compensation scheme are the products which are competing directly with the national lottery. In our application, we have to give proof of how those games are similar so it is a matter of being down to such aspect as is it like a scratch card or is it sold through retail?
