HC Deb 07 March 2000 vol 345 cc603-4W
Mr. Ruane

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will list the(a) amount of money raised from the sale of lottery tickets, and (b) the amount of lottery money spent, in each constituency, ranked in descending order of lottery money spent. [113276]

Kate Hoey

[holding answer 6 March 2000]I have placed in the Libraries of the House a table to show the amount of money raised from lottery ticket sales per UK constituency in descending order since the beginning of the lottery (correct to 13 November 1999), and a table to show the award amount to each UK constituency in descending order since the beginning of the lottery (correct to 3 March 2000). This information is taken from the National Lottery Awards database which uses information supplied by the lottery distributing bodies. The tables include lottery awards not attributed to the distributing bodies to a particular constituency. The constituency information relates to the address to which the lottery award was sent.
