HC Deb 26 January 2004 vol 417 c45W
Mr. Willis

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what the total value is of Lottery revenue used to support Government-sponsored projects within her Department since 1997. [149625]

Estelle Morris

One of the central strengths of the Lottery is its ability to harness other sources of funding, from the private, public and the not-for-profit sectors. 143,000 Lottery awards have been made since 1997. The cost of identifying which related to Government-sponsored projects would be disproportionate.
