uin	119268
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2020 answer text <p>The mix of loans and grants will be driven by need and the ability to repay. The allocations announced on Tuesday 19 November 2020 were preliminary allocations made on a needs based assessment process, and reflect the submissions made from the individual sports. According to these initial allocations, we expect about £250m of the £300m funding to be loans, with the rest being grants. The funding process will be overseen by an independent decision-making board and supported by Sport England: the proportion of grants to loans will only be finalised once that decision-making process is complete.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 26/11/2020 16:40:21 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
