HM Government
Rejected
The current allocation of good cause funding has been in place since April 2012; this long-standing arrangement allows for distributors to undertake long term financial planning based on predicted income. The new lottery provider, Allwyn Entertainment Limited, are implementing their transition plans. The government believes it is important to maintain stability in the system and therefore will not commit to reviewing good cause allocations at this time.
