Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what plans he has to make the allocation of funding by the National Lottery more open and transparent.
This question was answered on 8th June 2015
The National Lottery etc. Act 1993 sets out clearly the four good causes that the lottery supports and the precise proportions of funding which each of the 12 Lottery distribution bodies receive. Government requires each distributor to make their guidance on how to apply for grant funding, and their policies for the appraisal of applications, widely available to the public, ensuring their decisions are open and transparent.
