National Lottery operator Camelot has been sold to a Canadian teachers' pension fund for £389m.

The company, currently owned by a consortium that includes Cadbury, has been running the UK's National Lottery since it began in 1994.

The sale will be looked at by the regulator, the National Lottery Commission.

One of the factors in its decision will be whether or not the national interest will be served by the sale.

Camelot's proposed buyer, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan - known simply as Teachers' - runs the pension fund for more than a quarter of a million Canadian teachers.
