Lord Fearn

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many piers in England and Wales have received lottery funding in the past 10 years.[HL4516]

Lord Mclntosh of Haringey

Since the Heritage Lottery Fund started awarding grants in 1995, it has awarded grants to five piers and three harbour/pier combinations in England and Wales.

As part of the "Thames 2000 Initiative", the Millennium Commission has awarded lottery funding to five piers in London.

In addition, some other grants have been linked in some way with piers. However, in these cases the pier itself has not been the primary purpose of the award.
