Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the appropriateness of the Heritage Lottery Fund contributing to the cost of Restoration and Renewal of the Palace of Westminster.
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) is a grant giving body, and distributes the heritage share of the National Lottery Fund for good causes to successful applicants.
Any application to support the restoration of the Palace of Westminster would need to be considered alongside the other applications made to HLF’s programmes.
