Written question asked by Bill Wiggin (Conservative) on Tuesday, 8 May 2018, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 10 May 2018. It was answered by Tracey Crouch (Conservative) on Wednesday, 16 May 2018 on behalf of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
Commonwealth Games: Gun Sports
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions he has had with the Commonwealth Games Federation on the participation of Britain's elite shots in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
- Answer
-
In 2015, at the Commonwealth Games Federation General Assembly, the entire Commonwealth of Nations made the decision for shooting to be an optional sport at all Commonwealth Games. This was reaffirmed in 2016 when the new CGF Constitution was approved. Its status as an optional sport is not, therefore, a decision for UK government.
