The Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport issues policy and financial directions to the English and UK-wide lottery distributing bodies.

The policy directions set the framework within which the distributing bodies operate. These include considerations relating to:

• what the funding can used for
• the conditions the distribution body must meet.

The financial directions relate to financial propriety and efficiency. They are designed to secure the proper management and control by a distributing body of the lottery funds available to it.
