§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage how many feasibility studies have been funded from the proceeds of the national lottery; at what cost; and how many have produced completed projects. [3988]
§ Mr. Sproat[holding answer 14 November 1996]: To date, the national lottery distributing bodies have made 168 awards for feasibility studies for a total of £15,313,311. Many of these are still being carried out, and some will have resulted in full applications which will need to be considered by the distributing bodies. My officials have asked the distributing bodies to confirm how many of these studies have produced completed projects and will write to the hon. Member with this information.
