The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has rebuffed a Scottish Government bid to retrieve £150m in lottery funds diverted from Scottish good causes to the Olympics. Stewart Maxwell, the Scottish Minister for Communities and Sport, said it was “fundamentally unfair” that Scottish good causes should suffer to pay for London 2012. He asked for the money to go instead to securing a lasting legacy for the Commonwealth Games, which are being held in Glasgow in 2014.
