asked Her Majesty's Government:

What are the annual performance targets set out in the funding agreement between UK Sport and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport; when these targets were last reviewed; and when they expect to publish the results achieved by UK Sport. [HL431]

The funding agreement for the period 2005-08 between UK Sport and DCMS is available on UK Sport's website at www.uksport.gov.uk/pages/corporate_publications/. DCMS and UK Sport meet on a quarterly basis primarily to measure progress against the targets set out in the agreement. The most recent meeting took place on 17 October. Details of UK Sport's annual performance against the funding agreement targets will be published in UK Sport's annual review, which is required to be laid before Parliament before the end of October 2007.
