§ Mr. McKelveyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much public money was allocated to sport in England (a) in the last financial year and (b) in the current financial year.
§ Mr. MonroGrant-in-aid to the Sports Council was £15.2 million in the last financial year, and will be £15.4 million in the current one.
I cannot give a figure for the total public expenditure on sport, which is supported in different ways by a number of Government Departments, by schools and universities, and of course very substantially by local authorities.
