§ Q2. Mr. Terry Lewisasked the Prime Minister if she will list her official engagements for Tuesday 25 November.
§ The Prime Minister[pursuant to her oral reply, 25 November 1986, column 135]: I regret that I gave the hon. Gentleman an incorrect figure in my reply to his supplementary question about the Sports Council's grant settlement for 1987–88.
Between 1979 and 1986 its grant has gone up by 42 per cent. in real terms, not 67 per cent. as I said. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the Sports Council has received a substantial real terms increase in its grant between the years in question.
