Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion

Ms Tara Buckley:

Our concern is that different types of agents are being created. We fought very hard to retain the retail agents' margin. The Minister and the House made sure that the retail agents' margin was protected. We would be concerned that they are creating other types of agents which do not receive the same margin. It is, therefore, in their interests to push business to the other type of agents who do not receive the same margin. It is a business matter.
