The surplus generated by the National Lottery for good causes is transferred annually to the Exchequer and is applied to part-fund the Exchequer allocations to a specified range of expenditure subheads across various Votes.
The amount transferred to the Exchequer from the National Lottery surplus, together with details of the total Exchequer allocations to the relevant Lottery supported subheads, is published each year in Appendix 1 of the annual Revised Estimates for Public Services (REV). This gives a breakdown of allocations by Department and programme.
The provisional outturns for National Lottery supported subheads for 2014 and estimates for 2015 are set out in Appendix 1 of the 2015 REV.A copy of this Appendix follows for your information.
My Department's Vote does not include any subheads that are part funded by the Lottery.
