Arts: National Lottery

Mr. Swire
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much National Lottery arts funding (a) Northern Ireland, (b) Scotland, (c) Wales and (d) England received per capita in each of the last five years.

Mr. Caborn
The series of tables show the per capita figures for the last five financial years for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England where the good cause is recorded as Arts. The search is location specific. That is the tables include only grants that are specific to location in the region and exclude grants that might have gone to addresses in the region, but are not otherwise related to it.

The value of grants is taken from the Lottery grants database which uses information supplied by the Lottery distributors. The population figures used are from the mid 2005 estimates of the Office for National Statistics.
