The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it considers that the system to regulate sport through recognised governing bodies protects individuals who may unwittingly be involved in a sport of which the governing body is not recognised by sportscotland.
The answer
Sportscotland is responsible jointly with the other home nation Sports Councils and with UK Sport for the recognition of National Governing Bodies. The recognition process operates to identify a single lead governing body having achieved a position of pre-eminence within its sport. However, non-recognition of a governing body does not imply that it is in any way lacking in its ability and capacity to properly administer and manage the sport.
