Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how much the National Lottery Distribution Fund has allocated to each parliamentary constituency in Scotland in the last five years.
Answered by Helen Grant
Lottery distributors do not allocate their funding on a constituency basis. While they are required to ensure that Lottery funding is available to all areas and all sections of society, they make their funding decisions based on an assessment of applications submitted to each of their separate funding streams. A database of all Lottery grants is compiled by DCMS from data supplied by the various Lottery distributors. The database is available at: http://www.lottery.culture.gov.uk/Search.aspx and is searchable in a variety of ways, including by constituency.
