Arts: National Lottery

Mr. Swire: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport pursuant to the answer of 25 June
9 July 2007 : Column 1287W
2007, Official Report, column 39W, on Arts: National Lottery, how much National Lottery (a) heritage, (b) sport and (c) BLF funding (i) Northern Ireland, (ii) Scotland, (iii) Wales and (iv) England received per capita in each of the last five years. [147487]

Mr. Sutcliffe [holding answer 4 July 2007]: The per capita figures for grants awarded during the last five completed financial years for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England are set out in these tables. The population figures used are the mid-2005 estimates of the Office for National Statistics.

The Big Lottery Fund came into existence on 1 December 2006, although prior to that an administrative merger between the New Opportunities Fund (NOF) and the Community Fund had been operating. The figures given for the Big Lottery Fund include grants attributed to the Fund and exclude those attributed to NOF or the Community Fund.

The figures are derived from information submitted by the relevant distributors to the Department’s National Lottery Grants Database as well as directly by some distributors, including UK Sport whose awards are included where they are attributable to a particular home country.
