Example from letter from Tom Pendry, Member
of Parliament for Stalybridge and Hyde
Example of answer by Department for Culture,
Media and Sport
Mr Tom Pendry (Stalybridge and Hyde): To ask
the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will
list the amounts of monies (a) distributed to good causes from
the National Lottery Fund and (b) which have yet to be allocated.
[116489]
Mr Chris Smith
All the funds in the National Lottery Distribution
Fund available for distribution have been allocated to the National
Lottery Distributing Bodies, and all but £200 million of
this money has already been committed by them. While money remains
in this Fund, it earns tax free interest which goes to the good
causes, not Government. (HC Deb 27 March 2000, col 67w)
