In the House of Commons at question time a northern MP mentioned that some areas of the country are getting more lottery grants than others. This was because his pet project didn't get a grant because Camelot did not have enough money to go around.
This is not actually true (that his region was not getting tis fair share), but it does mean that this factor could be taken into account.
It is always maintained that each project is assessed on its merits without regard to what other local projects get the dosh.
I am not sure if I am nieve enough to believe this. If the West pier gets a huge wad, it could be argued that this will mean less money for other projects in Sussex?
