Mr. Hunt: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much was awarded in grants by (a) English Heritage, (b) the Museums and Libraries Association, (c) the Arts Council, (d) Sport England, (e) UK Sport, (f) the Heritage Lottery Fund and (g) the UK Film Council in each year since 1997-98; and what proportion of each was from (i) National Lottery Distribution Fund income and (ii) Exchequer funding. [208309]

(1) Does not include approximately £4 million each year of Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund which English Heritage disburses on behalf of DEFRA. (2) Audited figure for 2007-08 not yet available. Notes: 1. Figures relate to actual spend per year and not to offers made. 2. Grant expenditure has remained around the £30 million mark because English Heritage's Grant-in-Aid allocation, the money it receives from Government to carry out its work, has not kept pace with inflation. 3. Inflation has also had a negative effect on the buying power of English Heritage's grants. The construction industry has its own calculator of inflation; using this, English Heritage's grants over the last seven years have lost out by a cumulative £64 million in buying power. 4. English Heritage disburses its grants through seven main grant schemes: Historic Buildings, Monuments and Designed Landscape scheme, Partnership schemes in Conservation Areas, Cathedral repairs, Repair Grants for Places of Worship in England scheme, Historic Environment Enabling programme, Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund and others including War Memorial grants, Capacity Building programmes for the voluntary sector and various grants for local authorities.
