Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the merits of the Royal Navy Royal Marines Motorsport Association Grant.

As set out in JSP660, sports associations that deliver demonstrable benefit to Service personnel can receive funding. The Royal Navy Royal Marines Motorsport Association (RNRMMSA) has been supported as it enables the development of teamwork, decision-making under pressure and resilience skills. Several hundred personnel participate in dozens of fixtures at all levels from grassroots to international competition.

Recent investment has facilitated significant new membership and enabled the RNRMMSA to purchase accessible equipment to generate greater participation at a reduced cost to the individual.
