Mr. Burns
To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if an application for Lottery funding for the Melbourne Sports Stadium in Chelmsford has been granted; and if he will make a statement. [6005]
Mr. Banks
[holding answer Tuesday 1 July 1997]: The English Sports Council is the statutory distributor in England of Lottery funds for good causes in sport. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State does not have any role in the decision-making process on individual applications. The English Sports Council has, however, advised me that the application referred to is still being processed and no decision has yet been taken.
