National Lottery: Northern Ireland

Mark Durkan
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much revenue was raised from National Lottery ticket sales in Northern Ireland in each financial year since 1997.

Mr. Sutcliffe
The information requested is not readily available. The national lottery operator, Camelot, does not collect ticket sales information on a country basis. However, an analysis of sales data by postcode area is available in the Libraries of both Houses and provides information up to 2004.
