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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what meetings he has had with Ministers in other Departments to discuss the development of cross-departmental sport-based initiatives.

DCMS will be consulting on a new strategy over the summer and will publish our new approach later this year. As sport extends across almost every area of government activity, this strategy needs to be cross-Government to be effective. With this in mind, DCMS ministers have already met with ministerial colleagues from a range of departments to build on the positive work already underway. We will continue to engage with them to develop the strategy.
