National Lottery Bill

I am grateful to the Minister for his response. In the spirit of that, I acknowledge that any noble Lords who attended the remarkable exhibition in Edinburgh, in eight rooms of the National Gallery, of the acquisitions made by the National Galleries of Scotland while Sir Tim Clifford has been the director, will be conscious of what can be done through ingenuity and enterprise. The Minister, however, was quoting global figures for the amount that the Heritage Lottery Fund has given towards such issues over a period of years. In the same way that, in advance of Second Reading, the Big Lottery Fund gave us statistics about grants to veterans or their families to go back to the places where they fought, can either the Minister or the Heritage Lottery Fund provide us with a scheduled account of the Heritage Lottery Fund’s contributions? That would make it easier for us to judge whether the Minister is right to be so confident that all is well in the garden.
