Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order increases the fees which are payable to the Gaming Board under paragraph 7(1) of Schedule 2 to the Lotteries and Amusements Act 1976 in connection with the registration of lottery schemes and with the lotteries promoted under schemes registered by the Board. The fees are prescribed as fixed sums, in contrast to the maximum levels (below which the Board could determine a lesser fee) previously prescribed by the Lotteries (Gaming Board Fees) Order 1988. Accordingly the maximum fees of £75 and £290 which were payable respectively in cases to which article 2(a) and (b) apply are replaced by the fixed sums of £100 and £350. The maximum fees of £22, £45 and £60 which were payable respectively in cases to which article 3(a), (b) and (c) apply are replaced by the fixed sums of £30, £60, and £75.
