Olympics 2016

Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top Excerpts

Monday 10th November 2014 Lords Chamber

[Lord Gardiner of Kimble]

My Lords, UK Sport works very closely with all the national sports bodies, including Sport England, Sport Wales, Sport Northern Ireland and Sport Scotland, precisely to ensure that the allocation is correctly placed. It is trying to ensure that the best athletes come forward and are supported.

[Baroness Armstrong of Hill Top (Lab)]

My Lords, what will be the effect on this programme of a decline in lottery receipts?

[Lord Gardiner of Kimble]

My Lords, I very much hope that there will not be a decline in lottery receipts generally and that people will play the National Lottery. I believe that there are many good causes. Clearly, if that happened, we would have to look at these matters across the piece.
