European Regional Development Fund

Mr. Don Foster: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much money her Department has received from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in each year since 1998; and how much her Department estimates it will receive from the ERDF in each year until 2006, broken down by (a) capital and (b) resource income. [151951]

Mr. Caborn: The Department does not receive money from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) directly. However, projects in the English regions that fall within DCMS' policy responsibility have received the following amount of ERDF funds in each year since 1998 1 :

ERDF (£)
199862,057,761
199947,558,076
200037,245,008
200141,453,979
200241,988,937
200352,965,361

3 Feb 2004 : Column 812W

We expect that ERDF expenditure on cultural-related projects will remain at broadly this level until 2006.


Food/Drink Advertisements

Mr. Willis: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what progress her Department has made in reviewing the code of conduct relating to food and drinks advertisements in order to encourage the promotion of healthy eating. [152521]

Estelle Morris: The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has a responsibility only in relation to broadcast advertising. It is currently participating in the consultation being undertaken by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) on food promotion to children, and the Department of Health's Food and Health Action Plan group, both of which are exploring ways to promote healthy eating. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has also written to Ofcom asking them to examine the adequacy of their codes regulating the content of broadcast advertising of food, in light of the conclusions of the work undertaken by the FSA, the Department of Health and the Health Select Committee's inquiry into obesity. It is principally the responsibility of Ofcom to ensure that there is an appropriate code for the regulation of broadcast advertising and the Secretary of State looks forward to the outcome of their work.

Honours

Mr. Hinchliffe: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport pursuant to her answer of 19 January 2004, Official Report, column 1001W, on honours, if she will name the three individuals who have received an honour since 1999. [151802]

Mr. Caborn [holding answer 2 February 2004]: Alexander Murphy was awarded the OBE in the new year 1999 honours list for his contribution to rugby league football. Both Jason Robinson and Phil Larder were awarded the MBE in the new year 2004 honours list for their achievements in rugby union, but also in recognition of their previous involvement in rugby league at the highest level.

Public Service Agreement

Mrs. Calton: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will make a statement on her Department's progress against its Public Service Agreement to raise significantly, year on year, the average time spent on sport and physical activity by those aged 5 to 16 years. [151926]

Tessa Jowell [holding answer 2 February 2004]: This target was replaced following the 2002 Spending Review with the PSA target that I share with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Skills to increase the percentage of school children who spend a minimum of two hours each week on high-quality PE and school sport within and beyond the curriculum. Detailed data are now being collected for the first time—for publication in April—on progress against the new target.

3 Feb 2004 : Column 813W

Regional Sports and Arts Boards

Mr. Don Foster: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many members there are on each (a) regional sports board and (b) regional arts board; and how many of each are local government councillors. [151950]

Mr. Caborn: My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State is not responsible for appointing the members of the nine regional sports boards and the nine regional arts boards. Sport England (SE) and Arts Council England (ACE) will be able to provide the requested information. The Chair of each regional arts board has a place on the main ACE board, as do three of the SE Regional Sports Board Chairs at any one time on a rotational basis. The Secretary of State has a role in these appointments and a list of current Regional Chairs follows, one of whom is a local government councillor.

S4C

Mr. Wilson: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will list the sums committed by her Department to S4C in each year since 1997; and what the projected sums are for each of the next three years. [151995]

3 Feb 2004 : Column 814W

Estelle Morris: The Department for Culture, Media and Sport's allocations for S4C for each financial year from 1997–98 to 2005–06 are:

£ millions

Departmental allocation
1997–98(16)18.4
1998–9975.1
1999–200075.1
2000–0175.1
2001–0276.8
2002–0380.2
2003–0485.2
2004–0592.2
2005–0692.2

1 From January 1998, under the new funding formula introduced by the Broadcasting Act 1996, S4C's annual grant ceased to be paid in full in January each year and became payable in instalments. The budget allocation for 1997–98 therefore covered the period January to March 1998 only.

Departmental allocations for 2006–07 have yet to be determined.

S4Cs statutory grant entitlement is calculated on a calendar year basis and may therefore differ from the Department's allocation for the corresponding financial year.

Scottish Gaelic

Mr. Wilson: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will list the expenditure by her Department on reserved functions relating to Scottish Gaelic since 1999. [151996]

Estelle Morris: The Department has not incurred any expenditure on reserved functions relating to Scottish Gaelic. Responsibility for the Gaelic Broadcasting Fund (GBF) was devolved to Scottish Ministers in June 1999.

Public Bodies

Keith Vaz: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport who the members of the (a) National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside, (b) Public Lending Right Advisory Committee, (c) Radio Authority, (d) Reviewing Committees on the Export of Works of Art and (e) Royal National Theatre were on 1 January; what their term of office is in each case; and whether they are remunerated.
