- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport pursuant to the answer of 12 January 2006, Official Report, columns 783–84W, on the 2012 Olympics, for what reason UK Sport has not set an aspirational target for Olympic medals at the 2012 Olympic Games.
- Answer
-
It would not be appropriate for UK Sport, the Government's lead agency on elite sport, to set a target for Olympic medals at the 2012 Olympic Games in advance of agreeing a funding package for elite sport.The Government are not in a position at this stage to indicate when a decision will be taken on a funding package for elite sport. Funding is currently in place for the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic cycle, which concludes in 2009.
