§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the total Government expenditure on sport in the United Kingdom in each year since 1963; and what proportion was spent in Scotland in each case.
§ Mr. Denis HowellI regret that information of this nature covering the United Kingdom over the period requested is not available. Government expenditure on sport is of many kinds, both direct and indirect, and I am not aware of any attempt to assemble comprehensive statistics of this kind.
