Mr. Wyatt

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will publish the criteria by which LEAs have been assigned the new opportunities fund for sport allocation. [26288]

Mr. Caborn

Further to my answer to my hon. Friend of 4 December 2001,Official Report, columns 155–56W, the new opportunities fund determined the formula for these allocations by relating 50 per cent. of the funding available to the number of school pupils in an area and 50 per cent. to the deprivation of that area defined by the Index of Multiple Deprivation.
