Alistair Darling: Scottish National Lottery funding will ‘fundamentally change’ with independence

Alistair Darling: Scottish National Lottery funding will ‘fundamentally change’ with independence: peaking at a Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) event, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer said that Scotland’s charity and voluntary sector has “the best of both worlds” within the UK. Darling, who is the leader of campaign group Better Together, said funding received from the National Lottery could “fundamentally change” if Scotland is granted independence.

He said that the work of the charity sector is essential in improving the lives of people across Scotland.

He added: “It’s a positive example of where we benefit from the social union that we have as part of the United Kingdom.
