asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give details of sums to be allotted by the Government for the Olympic Games and of the sums allotted to the last Olympic Games and break these figures down among the various sports.

The British Olympic Association received a net sum of £6,738 in Government grants for travel costs, freight charges and out-of-pocket expenses in respect of the 1972 Olympic Games at Munich. Sports Council grants to be offered to the British Olympic Association for the Games in Montreal this year are expected to amount to some £107,000, subject to need based upon the results of their own appeal.Grants to the governing bodies of Olympic sports totalled £710,175 in the four years before the Munich Games, and are expected to amount to £1,928,380 for the four years before Montreal. These grants cover all the work of the governing bodies concerned and international training and participation are only part of their responsibilities. Details are as follows:
