Kate Hoey

We have contacted the National Lottery distributing bodies to request the information required, and I will write to the hon. Member as soon as it is available, placing copies of my letter in the Libraries of both Houses.

Mr. Fabricant

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (1) if he will rank by parliamentary constituency the total value of National Lottery grants awarded by the lottery boards since May 1997; [139857]

(2) what the average value is of National Lottery grants given to each constituency by the lottery boards since May 1997. [139858]

Kate Hoey

I have placed copies of a table showing the total amount awarded to each parliamentary constituency, the average value of these awards, and the average amount awarded per constituency since 1 May 1997 in the Libraries of both Houses. The parliamentary constituencies are ranked in descending order according to the amount of Lottery grants they have received since 1 May 1997. The table was compiled using information on awards supplied to us by the distributing bodies.
