Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has had discussions with her Irish counterpart on the potential merits of a joint bid to host the 2036 Summer Olympic Games.

The UK has continued to build its reputation as a world-leading host of the biggest major sporting events since the London Olympic and Paralympic Games 2012.

Neither I nor the Secretary of State have had any discussions with Irish counterparts on the consideration of either a UK or joint bid for the 2036 Olympic and Paralympic Games
