HC Deb 09 January 1996 vol 269 cc60-1W
Mr. Luff

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if she will list the awards made to organisations in Worcestershire from national lottery funds; and what was the size of the grant and the project cost in each case. [6133]

Mr. Sproat

Figures for national lottery funds broken down by county areas are not currently available. There have, however, been 312 awards made to organisations in the west midlands, to date, totalling over £51 million.

Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if she will list the receipts deposited by the organisers and the total amounts paid out for each week by them in respect of the national lottery for each week of its operation to date. [7013]

Mr. Sproat

At 8 January 1996, receipts into the national lottery distribution fund totalled £1.4 billion.

Mr. Maclennan

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what request she has made to Camelot for information about the sale of national lottery winners' names to list brokers; what reply she has received with particular reference to the identity of beneficiaries of such sales; and if she will make a statement. [5940]

Mr. Sproat

[holding answer 14 December 1995]: I have not approached Camelot about the sale of national lottery winners' names to list brokers. The Director General of the National Lottery, Mr. Peter Davis, has licensed Camelot to run the national lottery and he regulates its operations. I have therefore asked the director general to write to the hon. Member, placing copies of his response in the Libraries of the House.

Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what recent representations she has received relating to the distribution of national lottery funding in Scotland. [4639]

Mr. Sproat

[holding answer 18 December 1995]: I have received a number of representations about the distribution of national lottery proceeds. Scotland has fared extremely well. To date, 550 awards have been made from proceeds totalling £112 million.
