USE OF LOTTERY FUNDS FOR GOOD CAUSES

Early day motion 2009, tabled 24 April 2006 by Bob Spink (Conservative). Signed by 30 members.

That this House welcomes the use of lottery funds for good causes but believes those funds should be focused on helping vulnerable people and charitable organisations that would otherwise be in difficulty; and therefore urges Sport England and Manchester United Football Club to reconsider the decision to use lottery funds within what is the second wealthiest football club in the world so that those in real need can have access to these funds.
