HC Deb 12 March 2004 vol 418 cc1817-8W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many Lottery distributors there are; and how much money was distributed by each in each of the last three years. [160941]

Estelle Morris

There are currently fifteen organisations that distribute the proceeds from the National Lottery. The Millennium Commission has received no funds from the Lottery since August 2001, and it is planned that the New Opportunities Fund and the Community Fund will be merged to form a single new distributor. This merger will happen when primary legislation is in place.

The table shows how much money each distributor has drawn down from the funds raised. The column 2003–04 represents the financial year to the end of February.

Glasgow, Manchester and Newcastle. Should the bid succeed, sporting facilities across the UK will have the opportunity to be used by national teams for training camps.
