§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what is the total amount allocated from the proceeds of the national lottery to the small grants programme set up by the National Lottery Charities Board; and what proportion of such grants have been made to charities whose main or primary purpose is to assist people affected by flooding, fires or other disasters. [11722]
§ Mr. Sproat[holding answer 22 January 1997]: The National Lottery Charities Board has so far made grants in Wales under its small grants programme worth a total of £511,000. I understand that, under the programme so far, no charities have applied whose main or primary purpose is to assist people affected by disasters such as flooding or fires, so no such grants have been made.
§ Mr. JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if she will list the awards made from the proceeds of the national lottery to organisations involved in relieving the effects of national disasters, giving in each case(a) the name of the organisation and (b) the amount awarded. [11721]
§ Mr. Sproat[holding answer 22 January 1997]: No lottery awards have been made to organisations involved in relieving the effects of national disasters.
