Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Derek Donohoe:
We have had freedom of information requests which have involved information in regard to the operator, but if we are looking at information which is confidential, that is, confidential information as defined by section 20.6 of the licence, then freedom of information is trumped by the licence. Information that is confidential cannot be released without the agreement of the operator.
