The Apportionment of Money in the National Lottery Distribution Fund Order 2000
This Order amends section 22(3) of the National Lottery etc. Act 1993 so as to increase the percentage of the sums paid into the National Lottery Distribution Fund under section 21(2) of the 1993 Act that are held there for distribution by the New Opportunities Fund. The increase effected by the Order is from 13⅓ per cent. to 33⅓ per cent., as from 21st August 2001.
