§ Mr. John Carlisleasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the current asset values of the premises and equipment of the national sports centres; and what were those values in 1971.
§ Mr. TraceyThis information is not available in the form requested. A note to the audited accounts of the Sports Council for the year ending 31 March 1986 observed
Market values of the Sports Council Trust's land and buildings have not been determined, as the valuation could not be provided on any recognised meaningful basis".On a historic cost basis, the figure appearing in the accounts apportioned to exclude assets outside the national centres is £22,398,154 gross before depreciation is accounted for. The equivalent figure at 31 March 1971 was £1,147,449.
§ Mr. John Carlisleasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the performance of the Central Council for Physical Recreation of its duties under the 1971 agreement with his Department and the Sports Council.
§ Mr. TraceyThe Department is not a party to the heads of agreement of 1972 under which the Sports Council funds the CCPR.
