Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will estimate how much money his Department has spent in Morecambe and Lunesdale constituency since May 2010.

Our records show that from May 2010 to date, for the “Superfast Lancashire project” within which the Morecambe and Lunesdale constituency falls, Broadband Delivery UK, which is part of the department, has provided £980,000 in grant funding. In addition we can identify that £21,875 of grants from the Listed Place of Worship Scheme have been awarded in the Morecambe and Lunesdale constituency. However as the department's financial systems do not routinely record expenditure by constituency or similar geographical areas, a more detailed analysis of spending in the department could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
