HC Deb 29 March 1999 vol 328 c516W
25. Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will set out the first-year programme for the agency Quest. [77394]

Mr. Chris Smith

Quest will undertake up to six major studies a year. Although the first year's programme will be finalised only once the director and advisory board are appointed, I expect it to include a review of targets and indicators used within Funding Agreements, and a review of administrative structures within national bodies in DCMS areas including the Sports Governing Bodies.
