Sports and Exercise: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to Sporting Future: A Strategy for an Active Nation, published in December 2015, what progress the Inter-Ministerial Group for Healthy Living has made on implementing a joined-up approach to delivery and funding for sport and physical activity.

Answer

I meet regularly with my ministerial colleagues to discuss our joint working on sport and physical activity. Cross-government working continues to be a key priority, given the immense role sport and physical activity plays in a range of important agendas across government. For example, it can help improve learning and educational attainment, and contribute to reducing the burden on health and social care services.
