Changes and effects yet to be applied to the whole Act associated Parts and Chapters:

Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):

  • s. 5-6A substituted for s. 5 6 by 2006 c. 23 Sch. 1 para. 4 (Section 6 provides for Schedule 1 to be commenced by an order under that section rather than under the normal commencement provision (section 22). In particular, it requires the order to be subject to negative resolution procedures. Schedule 1 is to be commenced in this different way to reflect the intention that the Secretary of State will not commence Schedule 1 immediately but only if she considers that the current licensing structure has failed in creating an effective competition for the licence under section 5 of the 1993 Act to run the National Lottery and so risks failing to maximise returns to good causes.)
  • s. 7(3A) inserted by 2006 c. 23 Sch. 1 para. 5(5) (Section 6 provides for Schedule 1 to be commenced by an order under that section rather than under the normal commencement provision (section 22).
