<p>The Government, through UK Sport, is investing £20m into Winter Olympic sports
during the current Beijing 2022 funding cycle. UK Sport’s current funding figures
for Summer and Winter Olympic Paralympic sports can be found here: <a href="https://www.uksport.gov.uk/our-work/investing-in-sport/current-funding-figures"
target="_blank">https://www.uksport.gov.uk/our-work/investing-in-sport/current-funding-figures</a></p><p>Decisions
on which cities should host Summer and Winter Olympic Games are matters for the International
Olympic Committee.</p><p>The British Olympic Association (BOA), a privately funded
organisation independent of Government, is responsible for Team GB’s participation
at Summer and Winter Olympic Games. As the National Olympic Committee (NOC) for Great
Britain and Northern Ireland, the BOA may cooperate with governments, but rule 27.6
of the Olympic Charter states "The NOCs must preserve their autonomy and resist
all pressures of any kind, including but not limited to political, legal, religious
or economic pressures which may prevent them from complying with the Olympic Charter."</p><p>
