§ Mr. BanksAs at 28 February 1999, Sport England had received total income from the National Lottery of £1,116 million, of which £484 million (43 per cent.) had been spent. In addition, it had outstanding contractual liabilities of £518 million (which includes £103 million paid to the English National Stadium project during March) and had made further policy commitments totalling £271 million. Its total commitments therefore exceeded its income by £157 million, but because some of these commitments will not become due for some time, it will be able to meet them all.
