§ Mr. PendryTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science, pursuant to his written answer to the hon. Member for Stalybridge and Hyde, 7 December 1990,Official Report, column 212, if he will publish a table setting out separately the level of grant in aid to the Sports Council given or proposed for each of the years 1986–87 to 1990–91 and the level of support for sport provided through the urban programme for each of the years 1986–87 to 1990–91 together with the level of grant the Sports Council would have received and the level of support which would have been provided through the urban programme for each of these years had funding been uprated in line with inflation.
§ Mr. AtkinsThe level of grant in aid to the Sports Council and the figures uprated by the GDP index are:
(£ million) Year Sports Council Gram Uprated by GDP Index 1986–871 37.4 37.4 1987–881 37.1 39.4 1988–891 39.0 42.3 1989–901 41.9 45.0 1990–922 44.7 48.5 1 Outturn. 2 Estimated outturn. Over the same period the Sports Council has increased its receipts from £5.46 million (outturn) to £10.95 million (estimated outturn). When receipts are added to grant in aid, funds available to the council have increased in line with inflation.
222WExpenditure on sport through the Department of the Environment's urban programme and the figures uprated by the GDP index are:
(£ million) Year Urban Programme Funding Uprated by GDP Index 1986–871 21.3 21.3 1987–881 25.2 22.4 1988–891 17.8 24.1 1989–901 15.5 25.6 1990–912 15.7 27.6 1 Outturn. 2 Estimated outturn. These figures reflect the increased emphasis within the urban programme on economic, rather than social, projects. Most projects involving expenditure on sport would occur in the latter category.
