I understand from the Arts Council that they could supply the information requested on grant-in-aid applications for Arts Council England, South West funding only at disproportionate cost. They have however provided the following table showing the number of applications for lottery funding in each of the last five years and spreadsheets detailing both successful and unsuccessful applications for 2003 which I will place in the Library of the House.

1999 2000 2001 2002 2003
Accepted lottery applications 48 122 165 216 347
Rejected lottery applications 371 187 176 117 329
