HC Deb 23 July 2002 vol 389 cc975-9W
Mr. Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport whether she expects the number of staff positions at Sport England which have a remuneration package worth over £50,000 per annum to increase by 2005–06. [72472]

Mr. Caborn

Sport England expect that the number of staff receiving remuneration packages worth over £50,000 will increase from 14 to 26 by 2005–06. This is due mainly to the regrading of the Regional Director posts and the creation of a new post of Head of Placements and Alliances under the proposed restructuring of Sport England.
