# The Millennium Commission (Substitution of a Later Date) Order 2000, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends section 30(1) of the National Lottery etc. Act 1993 by substituting a later date, namely 20th August 2001, for the one for the time being specified there, namely 31st December 2000.
Section 30(1) provides that, in relation to any sum paid into the National Lottery Distribution Fund under section 21(2) of the 1993 Act after the date specified, section 22(3) (which allocates different percentages of such sums to the Lottery’s various “good causes”) shall have effect as if paragraph (e) were omitted and (subject to any order made under section 28 of the Act taking effect after the specified date and re-allocating sums in the Fund) as if correspondingly higher percentages were allocated to the other good causes. Paragraph (e) of section 22(3) is the provision that allocates funds to expenditure on projects to mark the year 2000 and the beginning of the new millennium. Thus the effect of section 30(1) is that no money is allocated to that good cause after the date specified, and the effect of this Order is to postpone that date until 20th August 2001.
Another Order, the Apportionment of Money in the National Lottery Distribution Fund Order 2000 (S.I. 2000 No. ), alters the percentages governing the allocation of sums paid into the Distribution Fund with effect from 21st August 2001 and makes connected provision.
