Another object of the Bill is to enable rules to be made
authorising the postponement of the drawing of a lottery during a typhoon.
It would also bring the law into line with the existing practice
of keeping accounts of the Lotteries Fund, and make formal provision
for the accounts of the Fund to be audited by the Director of Audit.
In addition, he said certain appropriations made in the past
would be validated under this Bill.
In the past, some allocations from the Fund were made to social
welfare services which had not been approved by the Governor under the
Government Lotteries Ordinance, while other allocations were made without
the prior consent of the Legislative Council under the Ordinance.
