requested the NLB to do an audit of all applications since the
inception of the National Lotteries Distribution Trust Fund
(NLDTF).
2006/7 â In 2006/7, there was a delay in the appointment of
Distributing Agencies. Therefore, no calls for applications
were made in 2006/7.

(b)(i) Number of funding applications approved
2005/6 â 2,039

(b)(ii) Number of funding applications rejected. The Board did

(c)(i) Amount of allocated amount paid out in full
In view of present time constraints (c) (i) & (c) (ii) can only
be responded to jointly, i.e. total payments. Refer to the
submission under (c) (ii).
With the conversion to the new system, the history of allocated
amounts paid out in full by the NLDTF will take a lot of time to
analyze. The NLB however, is prepared to do the analysis and
furnish the information within 30 days if it is still required.

submitted rather than partial)
