HC Deb 07 March 1979 vol 963 c695W
Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the members, together with their qualifications, of the British delegation to the Council of Europe's Committee for the Development of Sport; and if it is his intention to increase the number of the delegation.

Mr. Denis Howell

The United Kingdom delegation to the annual meetings of the Council of Europe's Committee for the Development of Sport comprises: the director of the Sports Council and the chief executive director of each of the sports councils for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; the general secretary of the Central Council of Physical Recreation; Sir Walter Winterbottom—my personal representative—and an official from my Department. I have no proposals to increase the number of delegates.
