HC Deb 24 January 1994 vol 236 c34W
Mr. Pickthall

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will list the grants awarded by the Sportsmatch scheme in 1993 indicating the amounts, the recipients and the commercial sponsors and which grants have gone to private schools.

Mr. Brooke

I have arranged for a list of all the Sportsmatch scheme awards approved in 1993 to be made available in the Library. Only non-profit distributing bodies are eligible to receive awards, and priority is given to those schemes which increase participation and are considered to benefit young people, the disabled and ethnic minorities, or deprived urban or rural areas. As far as we are aware, no awards were made to private schools.
