Appendix 1 of the Revised Estimates for Public Services for 2004 gives a breakdown by Government Department of expenditure in that year which was funded by the proceeds of the National Lottery while a similar breakdown of expenditure which was part-funded by the proceeds of the National Lottery in the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 is given in Appendix 1 of the Revised Estimates for Public Services for each of the years 2006, 2007 and 2008.

As regards my own Department, the only expenditure of this type is the Charitable Lotteries Scheme under which funding is made available to supplement the income of certain private charitable lotteries whose products are competing directly with National Lottery products.

Payments under the 2008 Scheme have not yet issued.
