Sports: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the potential merits of a new multi-sport grassroots funding programme.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Government recognises that sports clubs and facilities are important to communities up and down the country. High-quality, inclusive facilities help people get active. Everyone, no matter who they are or where they live, should have access to them and opportunities to participate in sport and physical activity.
All future funding of sports facilities beyond 2025/26 will be considered as part of the forthcoming Spending Review.
