To ask the Scottish Executive what it has done to (a) promote and (b) support hockey in Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley in the last four years and with what result.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not hold this information centrally.
Sportscotland, as the national agency for sport and the lead agency for the development of sport in Scotland, provides financial investment to Scottish Hockey in order to deliver ministerial priorities and delivering the objectives of Reaching Higher, the national strategy for sport.
I have therefore asked the Chief Executive of sportscotland to write to you separately with details of the promotion and support the organisation has made in the Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley constituency for the years in question.

The Scottish Government does not provide direct funding to sport governing bodies as such funding is provided by sportscotland. I have asked the Chief Executive of sportscotland to write to you separately with that information.
*The increase in sportscotland’s baseline for 2009-10 was predominately to fund relocation and redundancy following the decision in 2008 to relocate to Glasgow. This avoided diverting funds away from sporting governing bodies. Re-profiling of the elite athlete funding also led to a one off increase in funding.

To ask the Scottish Executive how much of the funding provided to (a) sportscotland and (b) sport governing bodies in each year since 1999 has been spent on (i) administration, (ii) capital investment, (iii) support for local sports development and (iv) support for individual competitors.
Answer
The Scottish Government provides sportscotland with an annual Grant in Aid award as set out in the Budget Bill for each financial year. It is a matter for sportscotland, and in turn for the sport governing bodies, to allocate these resources to meet operational needs in line with their business objectives.
I have asked the chief executive of sportscotland to write to you separately with this information.

To ask the Scottish Executive how many of the (a) chief executives, (b) senior staff and (c) board members of (i) sportscotland and (ii) sport governing bodies that receive Scottish Government funding receive a salary of over £100,000 per annum for those roles.
Answer
No members of staff at sportscotland receive a salary in excess of £100,000.
Although governing bodies receive funding from sportscotland, as independent commercial organisations they receive funding from other avenues and it is a matter for them to determine their own remuneration policies.
