To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what contribution the national lottery is making towards encouraging the playing of competitive sporting fixtures in schools. [114875]

Inter-school competitive fixtures will be an important part of the job description of the School Sports Co-ordinators, a new initiative which is being supported by the Lottery Sports Fund with additional support expected to come from partnership funding, including the new opportunities fund. Detailed proposals for the initiative are being drawn up in conjunction with key partners.
