HL Deb 10 April 2002 vol 633 c103WA
Baroness Anelay of St Johns

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their response to the research, Boom or Bust? Voluntary Sport in Peril, published on 26 March by the Central Council of Physical Recreation. [HL3607]

Baroness Blackstone

The results of the Central Council of Physical Recreation's recent research are a useful contribution to the debate about the general financial health of sport at the local, amateur level. The report makes a case for a measure of relief to local clubs but the survey on which it was based did not ask clubs to express opinions about how such relief should best be delivered.
