Commentary on Sections Section 5: Fees
12.This section inserts new section 7A into the 1993 Act to provide that the holders of licences under sections 5 and 6 of that Act must pay annual fees, to be set out in regulations, to the National Lottery Commission. The fees will reflect the expenses incurred by the National Lottery Commission in the exercise of all its functions under Part 1 of the 1993 Act e.g. granting licences, considering new games, monitoring the licences, whereas the previous licence fees only reflected the granting of the licences.
