HC Deb 01 February 1990 vol 166 cc313-4W
Mr. Canavan

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to respond to the report of the Scottish Sports Council, Sport 2000; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

[holding answer 25 January 1990]: I discussed the Sport 2000 report with Professor Raymond Miguel, chairman of the Scottish Sports Council, on 20 October 1989. As the document points out, sport has an important contribution to make to the health, social fabric and economy of Scotland.
