§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government: What progress they have made in co-ordinating the delivery of UK Sports Institute services throughout the home countries [HL4854]
§ Lord McIntosh of Haringey:There is a very close day-to-day working relationship between UK Sport and the UK Sports Institute network. UK Sport takes a strategic lead role hosting regular meetings with the home country institute directors, the British Olympic Association and the British Paralympic Association to discuss work programmes, service delivery and system development. In addition the chairs of each of the four institutes join these meetings at least twice a year to form the leadership group taking a strategic perspective.
§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government: What private sponsorship has been received to support the funding of the UK Sports Institute and the English institutes. [HL4857]
§ Lord McIntosh of Haringey:The UK Sports Institute is a network of the sports institutes in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The institute network provides our best men and women with the facilities and support services they need to compete and win at the highest level. Each home country sports council has responsibility for the development of its own institute network.
No private sponsorship has been received by UK Sport to support the institute network, but services in kind have been provided by industry partners, but not on a major scale. The English Institute of Sport is wholly funded by the Sport England Lottery Fund.
