§ Mr. BanksMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State met the United Kingdom Sports Council on 14 November and agreed the basis on which the competition will be completed. I have arranged for copies of his announcement and the paper which was considered at that meeting to be placed in the Library. I expect an announcement on the location of the United Kingdom Sports Institute to be made before Christmas. Team sports will be embraced by the Institute. The distribution of training facilities for team sports between the Headquarters, sports specific institutes, and network institutes, will be decided over time with the governing bodies concerned.
