NORTHERN IRELAND
Corporal Anthony Green
Mr. McNamara: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what the outcome was of the investigation into the shooting of Corporal Anthony Green on 25 January. [1134]
Dr. Moonie: I have been asked to reply.
The Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) has retained jurisdiction over the investigation into the death of Corporal Anthony Green in Northern Ireland. The case was referred to the Director of Public Prosecution for Northern Ireland (the DPP) in May 2001 for direction on the possibility of any charges being made in relation to the incident.
CULTURE, MEDIA AND SPORT
Arts Funding (West Midlands)
Mr. Watson: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much support the Arts Council provided for projects within each west midlands local authority in each of the last three years. [354]
Tessa Jowell: The Arts Council of England provides both grant in aid and Lottery funds to West Midlands Arts Board to act as the arts development and funding agency in the west midlands region. The table shows the allocation of grant in aid funding for arts organisations and individual artists within County, Metropolitan, Shire County and unitary authorities over the last three years (1998–99, 1999–2000, 2000–01). Figures for 2000–01 are a draft subject to final audited accounts to be published by West Midlands Arts in October 2001.
Notes:
Grant-in-aid has been allocated, wherever possible, to the local authority benefiting from the grant; where a grant benefits more than one local authority the amount has been apportioned. Grants benefiting more than one local authority but which cannot be apportioned exactly between authorities are classified as County, Metropolitan Regional, or Shire County areas, or Regional grants as appropriate.
Allocation by local authority has a wider benefit as audiences and participants are often drawn from several counties, both within and outside the west midlands region.

Wembley Stadium
Mr. Peter Ainsworth: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will make a statement on the future of Wembley Stadium. [107]
2 Jul 2001 : Column: 72W
Tessa Jowell [holding answer 25 June 2001]: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 25 June 2001, Official Report, column 37W, to my hon. Friend the Member for West Lancashire (Mr. Pickthall).
Lottery Funding (Films)
Mr. Peter Ainsworth: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will list those films which have received National Lottery funding to date indicating (a) how much National Lottery funding they received, (b) their total budgets and (c) their box office takings. [73]
Tessa Jowell [holding answer 25 June 2001]: Details of box office receipts are not kept separately as they are only one form of income for film, and change as films are released in new territories and re-released. I have today placed the information requested in respect of Lottery awards made in England and Wales in the Library of the House. I will write to the hon. Member in due course about awards made in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Archaeological Sites and Monuments
Mr. Peter Ainsworth: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what plans she has to place a statutory duty on local authorities to maintain records of archaeological sites and monuments. [101]
Tessa Jowell [holding answer 25 June 2001]: I have no such plans. The Government are, however, giving constructive consideration to the recommendation made by English Heritage in its report "Power of Place" that Historic Environment Record Centres should be established, and that electronic access to such records should be made widely available.
English Heritage
Mr. Peter Ainsworth: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what plans she has to introduce legislation to permit English Heritage to undertake overseas assignments. [92]
Tessa Jowell [holding answer 25 June 2001]: The Government remain fully committed to enabling English Heritage to undertake overseas assignments. There are always great demands on parliamentary time, but we will seek to implement appropriate measures at the earliest opportunity.
