§ Mr. Sproat[holding answer March 1997]: I apologise for the delay in providing the hon. Member with this information. To date, the national lottery distributing bodies have announced 320 awards for feasibility studies representing an investment of £30.4 million. So far, 79 of these studies have produced full applications and of these, six have resulted in lottery awards. Many studies have yet to be completed, while others have resulted in full applications which are being considered by the distributing bodies in the normal way. Awards to feasibility studies represent less than 1 per cent. of the total value of awards announced to the end of February 1997.
