HC Deb 12 November 1996 vol 285 c108W
Sir Irvine Patnick

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if she will place in the Library all the bids submitted for the British academy of sport; and if she will make a statement. [3031]

Mr. Sproat

[holding answer 11 November 1996]: The bids we received for the British academy of sport are commercially confidential to the bidders. I understand that a small number of bidders have made aspects of their proposals public, but it would be a breach of confidentiality for me to place copies of the bids in the Library.
