There are geographical areas that can benefit from a Lottery grant other than the four home countries. This can be because grants have varying catchment areas, or because the grant is a sum of money to be split up and spread out among different areas. For this reason, the figures also included the percentage of funding that has gone to projects that benefit England and Wales, Great Britain, the UK and overseas awards.

5 Mar 2004 : Column 1190W

Simon Hughes: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much funding (a) each London borough and (b) Greater London has received from National Lottery grants in each of the last five years. [158434]

Estelle Morris: Total Lottery funding in each London borough in each of the last five financial years is shown in this table. This is derived from the Department's database of Lottery awards, which is based on information supplied by the distributing bodies.
