HC Deb 29 June 1998 vol 315 cc60-1W
Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what proportion of projects allocated Heritage Lottery funding within Wales to date were unable to raise matching funding; and what is the total amount of resulting unclaimed funds. [47393]

Mr. Banks

The Heritage Lottery Fund is not aware of any projects in Wales which have been awarded grants but for which the required partnership funding has not been raised. There are therefore no resulting unclaimed funds.

Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what proportion of the Lottery funds allocated for Heritage projects has been spent in(a) Wales and (b) North Wales. [47392]

Mr. Banks

To date, the Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded £1.01 billion to 1,862 projects. Of this, Wales has received £23.27 million (2.3 per cent.) and North Wales has received £8.74 million (0.1 per cent.).
