HC Deb 18 November 1996 vol 285 c421W
23. Mr. Ian Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage when she expects to make an announcement on the location for the national British academy of sport; and if she will make a statement on the procedure for deciding on the location of regional sports centres. [2857]

Mr. Sproat

Twenty-six bids have now been received for the British academy of sport, and we hope to make an announcement on the location early in the new year. Details of the Government's proposals for the regional institutes will be included in the prospectus which we aim to launch in early spring next year.
