HC Deb 17 March 2004 vol 419 cc317-8W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much money from the New Opportunities Fund was allocated to Chorley in each year since 1997; and how the money was spent. [161444]

Estelle Morris

The New Opportunities Fund began making grants in 1999.

The DCMS Lottery Awards Database, which uses information supplied by Lottery Distributors, shows that organisations based within the Chorley constituency have received 40 Lottery Awards. Of these, four were for projects specifically located within Chorley.

I am arranging for a full list of these awards to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
