Net expenditure

During the year, the regulation of gambling under the 2005 Gambling Act, as amended and updated by the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 (opens in new tab) , produced an income and expenditure deficit of £3.43 million (see Note 2a for further details) (2023 to 2024, £1.01 million surplus). A deficit of £4.10 million (2023 to 2024, surplus of £0.47 million) for the year was budgeted under the Commission’s medium-term financial plan. The comprehensive net expenditure for the year was £31.86 million, including regulating the National Lottery. The deficit was due to the requirement to transfer Grant-In-Aid (GIA) funding of £29.14 million (2023 to 2024, £14.44 million) in respect of National Lottery direct to reserves and this not being included as income.
