§ Mr. HoyleTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many football clubs have received financial support from Sport UK in the last 12 months. [14290]
§ Mr. CabornNone. UK Sport does not provide funding for football. UK Sport's support for training, competition and coaching facilities for elite sports people is, in the main, provided to UK-wide governing bodies. In view of the administrative structure of football in the UK, applications for lottery funding from the sport's clubs and governing bodies are made to Sport England, or to its equivalents in the other home nations.
