asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now make a further statement on the action he proposes to take to safeguard the income of charitable and sporting organisations as a result of the decision of the House of Lords in the case of Singette v. Martin.

I propose shortly to introduce legislation to enable those schemes, established by the decision in Singette v. Martin to be lotteries, from which charitable and sporting organisations have received income, to continue to operate for a temporary period, subject to appropriate controls.
