Mr. Gareth R. ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what action he is taking to encourage lottery-funded projects to use energy from renewable sources. [124679]

Distributors therefore expect projects to be sensitive to the needs of the environment and the use of natural resources.
