Dept for Culture Media and Sport

Answer

Mr. Fearn: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will list the individual awards for the World Class Performance Programme specifying the sports to date. [115328] Kate Hoey: The World Class Performance Programme (WCPP) is administered by UK Sport for UK governing bodies and by Sport England for English governing bodies. The awards made by UK Sport and accepted by governing bodies since the Council became a lottery distributor on 1 July 1999 are given in the table. Sport England is currently upgrading its grant management system and information prior to 1 July 1999 and on the Sport England WCPP. I will write to the hon. Member with this information shortly and place a copy in the Library of the House. £ _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Sport Award {1,2} Athletics 3,045,839 Athletics (Disabled) 2,315,009 British Paralympic Association Games 61,002 Bobsleigh 316,687 Cycling 444,267 Diving{3} 395,522 Equestrian 728,200 Goalball (Disability Sport) 110,220 Gymnastics 1,773,806 Ice Skating 94,252 Judo 425,636 Modern Pentathlon 100,000 Orienteering 449,743 Powerlifting (Disabled) 112,566 Rowing 2,754,621 Sailing 1,744,320 Shooting (Paraplegic) 65,000 Swimming{3} 2,522,836 Swimming (Disabled){3} 1,356,912 Table Tennis (Disabled) 11,820 Trampoline 188,203 Triathlon 34,290 Water Skiing 31,300 Wheelchair Rugby 149,476 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. {1} The list comprises only those awards that have been accepted by the Governing Body and are hard commitments. {2} The total awards committed may not necessarily equate to exact outturn expenditure. Athlete subsistence costs are a best estimate and may not be taken up in full. Performance costs are normally taken up in full but where an underspend does arise lottery funding may be recouped or withheld. {3} Diving, Swimming and Disability Swimming include awards that have been backdated to cover extensions to earlier awards.
