HC Deb 05 July 2002 vol 388 c634W
Mr. Yeo

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will list those activities which her Department recognises as sport. [67018]

Mr. Caborn

The Sports Councils currently recognises 112 activities. Recognition is based on a number of criteria used by the Councils within a framework agreed with Government. The main criteria used by the Councils are "physical" effort and "skills". I am arranging for a full list of activities recognised by the Sports Councils and recognised Government bodies with English or GB/UK remit (which is publicly available) to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
