I understand that there is a concern here, but not, I would have thought, if the Big Lottery Fund acts properly in distributing money according to the provisions. If someone goes to the wrong lottery, the Big Lottery Fund can tell them which is correct. All it has to do is say, ““You have come to the wrong place””. Inviting, making or considering applications is the job of the Big Lottery Fund. The third point concerns the use of money paid; I would have thought that was its role. I am surprised by this, but it will be interesting to see what the Minister has to say. Provided the Big Lottery Fund does this properly and stays within its role, I would have thought that the clause was okay.
