The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Stephanie Peacock)

This Government believe in the power of grassroots sport, which is why we announced investment of more than £400 million in the future of grassroots facilities. Our ambition is for girls to have equal access to any facility that we fund, doubling access to priority slots for women and girls over this Parliament.
