Dr. Una May:

Yes. We fund upwards of 60 sports. The important thing from our point of view is there are a lot of different contexts around some of the bigger sports. One of the previous questions was around the disparity in the Covid funding. Different sports operate in different contexts. Some of them have a huge turnover, some are small, volunteer-led bodies, some have small numbers of members and some have big numbers of members. We do not make judgments based on a pure and simple cut-off point.
