(Terms of reference in Library Dep 03/2557).

Answer: Mr. Gardiner: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (1) if she will list the recommendations the Activity Co-ordination Team has made on a methodology to secure better evidence and data on participation; [140494] (2) if she will list the (a) interventions and (b) pilot projects for which the Activity Co-ordination Team has provided funding; [140502] (3) if she will list the recommendations the Activity Co-ordination Team has made to her to raise mass participation in sport and physical activity. [140504] Mr. Caborn: The Activity Co-ordination Team (ACT) has been established by government to increase participation in physical activity and sport. ACT is not a funding body but in spring 2004 will provide ministers with a delivery plan setting out recommendations to co- ordinate initiatives and research across government for the three years up until March 1997. I am arranging for copies of the Terms of Reference for ACT to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
