As the current operator of the National Lottery, Camelot UK Lotteries Limited has no influence over the distribution of National Lottery good cause income.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>All good cause income generated through National Lottery sales is placed into the National Lottery Distribution Fund which is distributed by the 12 National Lottery Distributing Bodies at arms length from the Government. The Lottery Distributing Bodies distribute funding across four good cause areas as set out in legislation, the National Lottery etc Act 1993; communities 40%, arts 20%, heritage 20%, and sport 20%.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>There is a publicly available database to access information on distribution of Lottery funding that can be accessed through the <a href="https://www.lottery.culture.gov.uk/" target="_blank">Gov.uk</a> website. This website brings together National Lottery grant data from the commencement of the National Lottery in 1994 to January 2018 and allows searches to be made for good cause grants in each region within specific timeframes. Due to technical limitations with the historic database, we have not yet been able to incorporate more recent National Lottery grant data. We are currently developing a new database which will be launched this year and will include data from 2018 onwards.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 29/04/2021 12:20:09 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale
