I am sure that the minister will want to support not only the ministers who are heading over to the Melbourne games but our athletes, to whom we wish every success at the Melbourne games.The minister may be aware of the athlete personal award scheme, which UK Sport runs and which it describes as being"to ensure that athletes can train and perform to the highest levels"in the run-up to Olympic games.He may also be aware that, at the last winter Olympics, some 40 per cent of the athletes in the Great Britain team were Scotland-based athletes.
