The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to support Sport England.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

The Government is committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of background, has access to and benefits from quality sport and physical activity opportunities.

That is why we provide the majority of support for grassroots sport through our arm’s length body, Sport England, which annually invests over £250 million of National Lottery and exchequer funding.
