'Can anyone tell me who is paying?' - Your Letters: April 22
PICTURES FROM THE PAST: Alrewas in Staffordshire is best known now for the National Memorial Arboretum, but in May 1974 the site was at the centre of major research into a previous Anglo Saxon community. Archaeologists were pictured patiently sifting the soil to plot the early settlement.
WHO'S FUNDING LOTTO RESEACH?
Recently I received a letter from the National Centre for Social Research on a HM Government heading, asking me to complete a 20-minute online survey on my feelings about lotteries, betting and gambling.
As a reward for completing the survey I am promised a £10 voucher which may be spent with love2shop.co.uk. As this appears to be a national survey, there will be an awful lot of £10 vouchers being given away.
Can anyone tell me who is paying for all these £10 vouchers and what is the connection between love2shop.co.uk and the National Centre for Social Research?
In these times of financial difficulties and cutbacks in services, I think it is important to know where the money for such a generous giveaway is coming from, particularly if is funded by government.
