These data were created using a comprehensive relevant word search from the Big Lottery Fund's database as there is not a field that breaks grants down using this categorisation. For this reason a small number of grants to military and naval charities may not have been included. Conversely there may be grants included that have been delivered to related applicants such as Royal British Legion Social Clubs.
This data include Awards For All and Home Front Recall Grants.
The Heritage Lottery Fund has also awarded lottery grants to military and naval charities, but is unable to supply this detailed information within the time allowed. I will write to the hon. Member for Westbury with this additional information and place a copy of my reply in the Library of the House.
Visit Britain
Mr. Ellwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport when he expects the review of Visit Britain to be completed; and if he will make a statement. [209675]
Margaret Hodge: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Bath (Mr. Foster) on 12 May 2008, Official Report, column 1375W.
Wales
Departmental Pay
Lynne Featherstone: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales pursuant to the answer of 4 June 2008, Official Report, column 922W, on departmental pay, how many and what proportion of employees in his Department who received a performance-related bonus at their 2006-07 appraisal were (a) male, (b) female, (c) from an ethnic minority and (d) disabled; and if he will make a statement. [210133]
Mr. Paul Murphy: Wales Office staff are on two separate pay and performance systems. Those staff on Welsh Assembly government terms do not receive performance-related bonuses.
The remaining staff are on the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) system. This is a pay system that recognises good performance by its employees. Performance is assessed under the common Performance management system. For employees whose performance is rated as ‘Exceeded’ a small bonus is paid along with the annual pay increase. Those who achieve “Succeeded” receive the normal pay increase and those with a ‘Not met’ marking received no award.
For the 2006-07 reporting year, there were 28 staff on the MoJ reporting system. Of these, five received a small bonus in addition to the annual pay increase (three male; two female).
In line with Cabinet Office guidance, the Wales Office does not publish information about disabilities for reasons of privacy. For the same reason I am unable to provide figures for bonuses paid to those staff from an ethnic minority.
Departmental Transport
Mrs. Villiers: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales when his Department's green transport plan was introduced; and if he will place in the Library a copy of this plan. [209237]
Mr. Paul Murphy: My Department is currently producing a sustainable development action plan (SDAP), which will include a green transport plan, but it is yet to be finalised.
The Wales Office is a small Department associated with the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) for services. Plans for green transport will be compiled by MOJ and include the Wales Office. We plan to place our part of the plan, when completed later this year, on our website
Staff are already encouraged to use videoconference equipment for meetings between our two sites to negate the need for travel.
We offset our carbon footprint from travel through PURE, the clean planet trust, a DEFRA recommended company. We are signing up to the DEFRA Government Departments, controlled offsetting site.

Many of the opportunities for small and medium- sized business will exist in the London 2012 supply chains. In addition to establishing the London 2012 Business Network, which gives businesses across the country access to opportunities in the supply chains, over the last year the ODA has visited each of the UK's nations and regions to raise awareness of the business opportunities generated by the 2012 Games.
Olympic Games 2012: Housing
Hugh Robertson: To ask the Minister for the Olympics how many and what proportion of units of accommodation in the athletes' village will be used for affordable housing after the 2012 Olympics. [209705]
Tessa Jowell [holding answer 9 June 2008]: By 2012, up to 3,500 residential units will have been built for use as athletes’ accommodation in the Olympic Village. Following the Games, the Olympic Village will become a high quality, sustainable community. The athletes' accommodation will be converted into residential homes and be supplemented by additional residential housing, the full details of which are still being developed. The residential housing will be complemented by public spaces, health and education facilities, and much improved transport links.
30 per cent. of residential units in legacy will be affordable housing for sale and rent.
