9 (**) Section 14 (1) of the Local Government and Planning Act 1982 required the then district and island councils to "ensure that there is an adequate provision of facilities for the inhabitants of their area for recreational, sporting, cultural and social activities". The term 'adequate' was not defined in the Act, and has not subsequently been defined. This duty of 'adequate provision' was transferred to the new unitary authorities under Schedule 13 of the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994. The 1994 Act also confirms local authorities' power to provide grants or loans to cultural organisations based outside their areas and to "make such contribution as will support and promote music theatre, dance, opera, visual art or other art forms and museums and galleries".
10 It is often suggested that more than 90% of publicly funded sport in Scotland is provided through Trusts and local authorities.
