Question

To ask the Scottish Executive how much organisations in the Strathkelvin and Bearsden parliamentary constituency received in lottery funding last year, expressed also on a per capita basis.


Answer

Priorities for distribution of lottery funding in Scotland by the BIG Lottery Fund are set by Scottish ministers in policy directions made with the consent of the Secretary of State. In accordance with these priorities, decisions on distribution of lottery funds are made by the Big Lottery Fund, independently of Scottish Ministers. Information on such decisions is available from the Chief Executive, Big Lottery Fund, 1 Atlantic Quay, 1 Robertson Street, Glasgow G2 8JB, tel: 0141 242 1400.
