Subsection (1) of section 23 of the 1993 Act deals with sums paid into that Fund that are allocated for expenditure on or connected with the arts. Article 2 of this Order amends subsection 23(1)(e) of the 1993 Act by substituting The British Film Institute for the UK Film Council. The British Film Institute is an incorporated body established by Royal Charter.
