Big Lottery Fund: Internet

Mr. Hunt: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much has been spent on the Big Lottery Fund website in each year since its establishment. [297114]

Mr. Simon: The running and maintenance of the Big Lottery Fund's website is the responsibility of the Big Lottery Fund, which operates independently of Government.

I have therefore asked the Big Lottery Fund's chief executive to consider the question raised by the hon. Member for South West Surrey and to write to him direct.

Copies of the reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
