Sports: Yorkshire and Humberside

Hugh Bayley
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much the Government spent on sport in (a) Yorkshire and the Humber and (b) City of York in each year since 1997.

Mr. Sutcliffe
Data for the past 10 years could be provided only at disproportionate cost. The following table shows the Government (Exchequer) funding for Yorkshire and Humber in each of the last seven years. It is not possible to isolate figures for the City of York as Sport England does not hold data in that format.
