Written answers and statements, 8 November 2006
Malcolm Moss (Shadow Minister (Culture, Media & Sport), Culture, Media & Sport; North East Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport whether the Heritage Lottery Fund can entertain applications for funding for privately owned piers.
David Lammy (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Culture), Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Tottenham, Labour)
The Heritage Lottery Fund considers every application made to it. Trustees of the fund have decided that, because of high levels of competition for its funds and the need to secure maximum public benefit from lottery funds, applications from private owners will be a low priority.
