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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will hold discussions with the sports ministers of the devolved administrations to ensure that following the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games immediate preparations will begin to ensure greater participation by people in all four constituent parts of the UK in the run-up to the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.

We are committed to making sure that the investment and enthusiasm unlocked by not only the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, but also of course the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, translate into a clear legacy of more sport being played by more people of all ages and abilities from across the UK for many years to come. I am happy to discuss this ambition with the Sports Ministers of the devolved administrations at any time.
