I also welcome the sports capital grants. I am trying to figure it out. The national lottery is where we normally got funding for sports projects, but it is being sold off and so much is going to maintenance, construction and road capital projects as well as sports. Will there be an initial surge in capital grants for sports as a result of that sale and how much money is planned to go to sports? Have we safeguarded the national lottery in terms of continuously giving proper returns so we can put them towards the sports organisations?
