HC Deb 30 April 1998 vol 311 cc198-9W
Helen Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many applications to the National Heritage Memorial Fund have been(a) made and (b) approved from organisations in the Warrington, North constituency since the fund was set up. [40224]

Mr. Banks

The National Heritage Memorial Fund encompasses two separate funds: the heritage memorial fund and the heritage lottery fund. The heritage memorial fund has since 1980 served as a fund of last resort for the support of heritage projects throughout the United Kingdom. Information concerning funding applications to and awards from the memorial fund is not readily available on a constituency basis. The heritage lottery fund constitutes the heritage tranche of proceeds from the National Lottery. It has so far received four applications for funding from organisations in the Warrington, North constituency, two of which were successful.

Helen Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will list the total value of grants awarded from the National Heritage Memorial Fund for each constituency in England and Wales. [40225]

Mr. Banks

Such information is available only in respect of awards by the heritage lottery fund. I am placing in the Library of the House a copy of the list of awards for each constituency in the United Kingdom.
