To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what the divisions between regions for Sport England funding (a) were between 2001 and 2003 and (b) will be between 2004 and 2006; and if she will make a statement. [121305]
The details of the split of funding across the regions during 2001–02 and 2002–03 are shown in the following table.

It is the intention of Sport England to delegate to regions 70 per cent. of available lottery funds.
