§ Sir Cranley OnslowTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heriage what grants from public funds have been made to the sport of angling since April 1991.
§ Mr. BrookeMost of my Department's funding for sport is made through the Sports Council. In 1991–92 it paid grant of £71,749 to angling bodies, including £20,660 to the National Angling Council which was disbanded at the end of that year. In 1992–93 grant paid by the Sports Council to angling's remaining governing bodies was £46,800.
