To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what proportion of Lottery funding has been allocated to organisations in (a) Merseyside and (b) Crosby in each of the last five years; and which organisations received such funding. (282524)

The following table shows the value of lottery grants awarded to organisations in Merseyside and Crosby in the same years, along with the total amount of lottery grants awarded in the last five years. Merseyside is taken to be the boroughs of Knowsley, Liverpool, St. Helens, Sefton and Wirral.

These statistics have been prepared using the Department's lottery grants database. The database is searchable at:

www.lottery.culture.gov.uk

and uses information on lottery grants supplied by the lottery distributors.

I have arranged for a list to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses of organisations in Merseyside and Crosby that received lottery awards in those years.
