  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis 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. The Commission will cease to receive any portion of the sums paid into the Distribution Fund on or after that date, by virtue of section 30(1) of the 1993 Act as amended by the Millennium Commission (Substitution of a Later Date) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000 No. ).\nIn article 3, the Order also provides for a certain sum held in the Distribution Fund for distribution by the Millennium Commission to be held instead for distribution by the New Opportunities Fund. The sum in question is any sum that, on 21st August 2001, is held in the Distribution Fund for distribution by the Millennium Commission, and that, when added to all the other Lottery money that the Commission has received since its inception (including the proceeds of money invested on its behalf under section 32 of the 1993 Act), is in excess of £2,286,500,000.",
