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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions he has had with UK Sport on the most appropriate organisation to be recognised as the governing body of skateboarding.

Ministers meet with UK Sport regularly to discuss a range of issues. UK Sport are providing ongoing guidance and support to all skateboarding parties as they aim to meet the conditions of UK Sport's Aspiration Fund award, announced in December 2018. This includes efforts to identify the appropriate delivery model of the funding to which the whole sport is committed.

Skateboard GB and the British Roller Skating Federation are working with their International Federation, World Skate, to clarify recognition for the sport of Skateboarding at the Olympic Games.
