To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will make a statement on the contribution which the millennium fund will make to tackling social exclusion. [77378]

Mr. Chris Smith

The Government are committed to ensuring that the Millennium celebrations are truly inclusive, involving people from every part of the country and all sections of society. As well as promoting economic regeneration, many Millennium Commission projects are specifically designed to strengthen and empower individuals and communities, and to foster access to recreational and learning opportunities in areas where this has previously been limited.
