An SNP MP has sought assurances over the future of the UK's participation in the EuroMillions lottery after Brexit.

Patrick Grady, who represents Glasgow North, asked the secretary of state for culture, Karen Bradley, what talks she had with the National Lottery over the future of EuroMillions in Britain after Brexit.

The UK Government assured EuroMillions players that Brexit does not mean the end of their chance to hit the European-wide lottery.

It comes after an SNP MSP said the downsizing of Toblerone bars was "emblematic" of the consequences of leaving the European Union.

In a written question at Westminster, Grady asked: "To ask the secretary of state for culture, media and sport, what discussions her department has had with the operators of the National Lottery on inclusion in the negotiations on the UK leaving the EU of provisions to permit the continued participation of UK citizens in the Euromillions lottery?"

Replying to Grady, junior culture minister Tracey Crouch said: "EuroMillions currently operates across nine European countries and EU membership is not a requirement - for example, EuroMillions has operated in Switzerland, a non-EU country, since 2004".

Scottish Conservative deputy leader Jackson Carlaw said Grady will be relieved with the news as the SNP has been "bankrolled" by EuroMillion winners previously.

He said: "Patrick Grady will be relieved to know it still could be him, even once outside the European Union.

"And given Mr Grady and his SNP colleagues have been bankrolled by EuroMillions winners the Weirs, it's perhaps no surprise the nationalists are getting jumpy about the competition's future."

Scottish EuroMillion winners Chris and Colin Weir have donated £2m to the party since winning £161m in 2011.

The couple also donated £3.5m to the Yes campaign during the 2014 independence referendum.
