§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government:
What were the total running costs for 2002–03, and what was the budgeted cost for 2003–04, of the English Institute of Sport; and, for 2002–03, what was its annual public subsidy from the national lottery and the Treasury; and what was the annual fee income generated from (a) national governing bodies of sport, (b) other users, and (c) the private sector. [HL1058]
§ Lord McIntosh of HaringeyThe actual and budgeted total running costs for the English Institute of Sport for 2002–03 and 2003–04 were £6.1 million and £7.9 million respectively. The £6.1 million funding for 2002–03 was solely provided from the lottery by Sport England. There was no exchequer funding or additional income generated from national governing bodies, other users or the private sector.
§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government:
What were the occupancy rates for both élite sport and community sport of sites under the auspices of the English Institute of Sport. [HL1059]
§ Lord McIntosh of HaringeyIn order for the network of EIS facilities to be sustainable they have been underpinned by regional and community use when not being used by élite athletes. In general the usage split is 80 per cent community use and 20 per cent élite. This balance gives élite athletes the dedicated training time they need while ensuring that the centres are viable and are also a real community asset, motivating young athletes to aspire to high standards of performance. However, where EIS facilites are based at university sites, where there are relatively large numbers of élite athletes, then the split between élite and non-élite use is 40 per cent élite and 60 per cent student/community.
§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government:
What plans they have to monitor the performance of the English Institute of Sport. [HL1060]
§ Lord McIntosh of HaringeyAs a wholly owned subsidiary of Sport England, performance of the English Institute of Sport (EIS) will be monitored in line with the wider modernisation programme of Sport England. Sport England is in the process of agreeing key performance indicators with the EIS, which when allied to the post-Athens sports' reviews, will allow Sport England to monitor the effectiveness and efficiency of the EIS operation to deliver a successful sporting nation.
