Human Remains
Miss Kirkbride: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport when she expects to publish the Government's response to the report on the retention of human remains conducted by the Working Groups on Human Remains. [187262]
Estelle Morris: On Wednesday 28 July DCMS launched a consultation to assess the necessity and appropriateness of the recommendations of the Working Group on Human Remains. The consultation will run for three months, and the Government will make their response after that point.
Lower Priority Olympic Sports
Kate Hoey: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what definition the Government uses of the term "lower priority Olympic sports". [186376]
Mr. Caborn: All sports were assessed in 1997–98 against UK Sport classification criteria (significance in the UK, significance internationally, international success) and more refined indicators which were: the recent record of success or achievement in the international arena, recognition as an Olympic sport, the quantity and quality of the competitive field, the number of world class performers in the UK, the public profile of the sport in the UK and the number of affiliated members in the UK.
Based on these criteria, a number of sports were not considered to be high priority for support from UK Sport. The Olympic Sports Development Fund established by UK Sport and the BOA attempts to help such sports achieve their potential.
National Lottery
Mr. Cousins: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will estimate the National Lottery-derived balances held by (a) lottery funds, (b) each arts council and (c) each national sports body as at 1 April (i) 2002, (ii) 2003 and (iii) 2004. [186836]
