HC Deb 05 June 2000 vol 351 c97W
Mr. Gareth R. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what action he is taking to encourage lottery-funded projects to use energy from renewable sources. [124679]

Kate Hoey

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has issued policy directions to all distributors which require them to take into account the need to further the objectives of sustainable development in awarding grants. Distributors therefore expect projects to be sensitive to the needs of the environment and the use of natural resources.
