 House of Commons - Culture, Media and Sport - First Report
These laudable but imprecise aims are reflected in the policy directions given to the Heritage Lottery Fund by the Government.[46] The Minister's statement describes the objectives of a strategy rather than the content of a strategy, but the desired content of a wider strategy goes beyond the scope of this inquiry.
The Fund was originally conceived to receive one fifth of the National Lottery Distribution Fund.[48] Following the enactment of the National Lottery Act 1998 and the establishment of the New Opportunities Fund, the Heritage Lottery Fund's share has fallen to one sixth.
The value of the Heritage Lottery Fund's contribution to the heritage as a whole is dependent on the continuation of support for the heritage from other public funds, most notably grant-in-aid to the many other public bodies in the sector.

HLF looks for evidence that a project is supported by the local community and that it relates to local, regional or national plans or heritage policies.
