The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to the press release entitled Prime Minister announces multi-million pound boost for grassroots cricket, published on 5 April 2024, how much and what proportion of that funding was allocated to projects in (a) Eastleigh Borough and (b) Hampshire.

The Future of Cricket fund was publicly announced by the previous Government before the General Election but did not receive formal business case sign off nor any financial commitment.

Future funding of sports facilities will be considered as part of the upcoming Spending Review.
