HC Deb 25 January 1995 vol 253 cc195-6W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage how provision for disabled people will be included in the three new policy areas chosen for emphasis by the Sports Council GB.

Mr. Dorrell

Under the proposals announced by the Minister with responsibility for sport on 8 July 1994,Official Report, columns 584–92, I shall expect the Sports Council, and its successors, to give full weight to the needs of sport for able-bodied people and people with disabilities in spending its grant in aid from the Government. We have also asked the Sports Council to consider particularly the needs of those with physical or other disabilities in its distribution of national lottery funds.
