HC Deb 13 March 1969 vol 779 c325W
48. Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what conditions must be satisfied before a grant is made to sporting associations.

Mr. Denis Howell

Grants are made to national voluntary organisations of sport towards the costs of coaching administration and international participation abroad. Capital grants are made to nonprofit making sports clubs that have open membership and where the cost of the sport to the individual is reasonable. In all these cases the applicants have to prove need.
