Sport: Finance

Mr. Evans: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much funding his Department has allocated to sport in (a) Ribble Valley and (b) the Lancashire county council area in the last five years. [168306]

Mr. Sutcliffe [holding answer 26 November 2007]: Financial support for sport from public sources is primarily channelled through Sport England and UK Sport, the two DCMS sponsored bodies which dispense Exchequer and Lottery funds for sport from DCMS, in line with their own policies and priorities for the development of sport.

UK Sport is the Government’s lead agency for high performance sport. It is not possible for UK Sport to determine an amount of funding allocated to specific counties or regions.

The following table provides details of the Exchequer funding and Lottery funding allocated through Sport England to (a) Ribble Valley local authority and (b) Lancashire county council area for the last five years.

Lancashire	1,746,952	2,258,697	4,078,083	4,687,554	459,442

National Governing Bodies (NGBs) also fund sport through Whole Sport Plans which provide a national funding allocation for each sport and is distributed by Sport England. It is not possible for Sport England to determine the amount of funding allocated through NGBs to specific counties or regions.

Sports: Anti-Semitism

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what steps he is taking to tackle anti-Semitism in (a) football and (b) other sports; what recent representations he has received on the
3 Dec 2007 : Column 813W
issue; what recent meetings he has had with the Football Association about the issue; what the (i) location and (ii) duration of each meeting was; whether a record of each meeting was kept; who attended each meeting; what the cost was of each meeting, broken down by (A) administrative costs and (B) other costs; and if he will make a statement. [169538]

Mr. Sutcliffe: Sporting Equals, an independent organisation funded by our non-departmental public body, Sport England, are developing guidelines on discrimination in sport, including anti-Semitism.

I have had no meetings with the Football Association (FA) on this issue; however, I have received some correspondence from the public concerning anti-Semitism in sport.

Since the end of 2005, the FA has been working with Maccabi GB (a Jewish charity for sporting, educational and social events), and the Community Security Trust to understand the scope, scale and steps that need to be
3 Dec 2007 : Column 814W
taken to ensure positive action in tackling anti-Semitism in football. The FA encourages people to report all types of abuse and investigates all incidents, taking appropriate action where proven. Additionally, the FA has available on their website, a religious calendar available to all organisations to assist when planning events and competitions.

Sports: Finance

Tom Brake: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much funding his Department allocated to sport in (a) each London borough and (b) each Government region in the last five years. [169378]

Mr. Sutcliffe: The Department for Culture, Media and Sport does not fund sport directly. In this instance the funding has been provided by Sport England for sport and physical activity.
