Commentary on Sections Section 11: Distributing bodies: publicity
26.New section 25E is intended to remove any doubt about the powers of Lottery distributors to publicise the National Lottery. While it is already clear that they can publicise their own award of a grant and its purpose, this section allows them to participate in publishing more general information about the work of all Lottery distributors and the intention is that by doing so they will be able to inform the public better about what the money they award is achieving overall for the Lottery good causes. This will ensure that all the Lottery distributors are able to participate in the National Lottery Promotions Unit which seeks to raise positive awareness of and support for the benefits of the distribution of National Lottery funding across the whole country, including participation in events publicising that funding.
