To ask the Scottish Executive how many people from deprived areas are currently prevented from entering work because of an absence of child care.
Answer
For parents living in deprived areas, the absence of affordable child care is one of the barriers to entering employment. The absence of appropriate skills, ill health, and/or access to places of employment are also impediments to entering work.The Scottish Executive is committed to removing the range of barriers that parents face to entering employment, and I recently announced an additional £20 million over 2004-06 to tackle some of these barriers in deprived areas, including access to child care.

To ask the Scottish Executive what role UK Sport has in the (a) promotion, (b) regulation and (c) funding of sport in Scotland.
Answer
UK Sport has no role specific to Scotland. It is responsible for fostering, supporting and encouraging the development of sport and physical recreation in the UK as a whole with a particular focus on the Olympic sports (which are organised on a GB/UK basis) and the achievement of excellence. Its functions include support for GB/UK governing bodies of sport and governing body modernisation; advice on policies and practices on anti-doping and other ethical and equity issues, and it provides the central services for the UK Sports Institute. For these purposes, it receives annual grant-in-aid from DCMS. It is also a distributor for part of the Lottery Sports Fund, operating the World Class Performance Programme and the UK Major Events Programme.
