PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
PUBLIC LIBRARIES AND LOTTERY FUNDING (27 February 1995)

Motion Details

That this House expresses its concern that bids for the funding of library projects are not likely to be eligible for funding from the Lottery Heritage Fund when it starts disbursing its proceeds; believes that libraries form an important and integral part of non-sport leisure activities and are one of life's great 'equalisers' and that capital and revenue funding is urgently needed for special projects to improve accessibility for disabled people, and to upgrade the many historic buildings in which libraries are housed; and urges the Secretary of State for National Heritage with the Director-General of the National Lottery to adjust the criteria accordingly.
