Commentary on Sections Section 10: Distributing bodies: consultation
25.The effect of new section 25(2C) is to permit Lottery distributors, when making a decision about distributing Lottery money both to consult any person about it and to take account of the opinions expressed or information supplied as a result of that consultation. It is intended to remove any doubt about whether the Lottery distributors have to power to consult or take into account such matters in exercising their powers to distribute Lottery money.
