§ Mr. SheermanTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what has been the total amount available to local projects from national lottery funds in each year since its inception. [34947]
§ Mr. SproatThe organisations responsible for distributing lottery funds do not subdivide them into amounts available for local, regional or national projects and these figures are not, therefore, available. Since its inception in November 1994, the lottery has raised more than £2 billion for projects of all sizes.
