The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions she had with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on the adequacy of the provision of sport in schools in East Grinstead and Uckfield constituency.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The department is working collaboratively with the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) to strengthen PE and school sport.

As a result of this work, we are investing over £1 billion in PE and school sport over the next three years, including £580 million for a new PE and School Sports Partnership Network, £200 million of capital investment in facilities, and a transitional payment of PE Premium. The department will continue to work closely with DCMS and DHSC on the design and delivery of the Partnership Network.
