Sports: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how does the her Department intend to ensure that the £400m of funding earmarked for grassroots sports facilities benefits a wide range of sports which appeal to different demographics and communities.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Government is committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of background, should have access to and benefit from quality sport and physical activity opportunities. That has to mean delivering a range of facilities across the country based on what each local community needs.
We are working closely with the sport sector stakeholders and local leaders to develop plans for funding for a range of sports across the country based on what each community needs.
