Mr. Jim Murphy

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will list the governing bodies for sport indicating the number of places on each. [27160]

Mr. Banks

As at December 1997, there were 414 governing bodies of sport, recognised by the Sports Councils, operating in the UK.

Information on the number of places on each body is not readily available, but I will ask the UK Sports Council to obtain it. I will write to my hon. Friend once this information is available and place copies of my reply in the Libraries of the House.
