Lord Moynihan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Youth Sport Trust is the national coordinating body for the European Year of Education through Sport; and what support it has given to UK Sport's "Start Clean" campaign. [HL4869]

Lord Filkin

The Departments for Education and Skills and for Culture, Media and Sport appointed the Youth Sport Trust to be the United Kingdom's national co-ordinating body for the 2004 European Year of Education through Sport. The Youth Sport Trust has provided advice and guidance on eligibility, selection and award criteria, to those bidding for funding from the European Union to support national, regional, transnational and community wide projects. The final decision on which projects were co-financed by the European Union were taken by the European Commission assisted by an advisory committee.
