To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much public money is projected to be spent on grassroots sports in the London boroughs of (a) Southwark, (b) Lambeth, (c) Lewisham, (d) Newham, (e) Hackney, (f) Waltham Forest, (g) Tower Hamlets and (h) Greenwich in each year of the current spending round. (224185)

Funding for grassroots sport in London is available from a number of sources including local authority expenditure, Exchequer funding from DCMS via Sport England, and lottery funding via Sport England. We do not hold information on local authority expenditure, and it is not possible to provide final Exchequer or lottery projections at this stage of the financial year. Sport England has provided the following projections based on confirmed awards to date. Final spend will only be known after the end of the financial year.

Spending for the period from April 2009 will be through the new Sport England funding framework outlined in their new strategy published in June of this year. Funding will be directed primarily through national governing bodies in light of the Whole Sport Plans which are currently being considered by Sport England.
