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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they are on track to deliver their manifesto commitment to win more medals in Rio 2016 than in London 2012, and what progress is being made in preparations to deliver that commitment, broken down by sport.

We want our sportsmen and women to win even more medals in Rio than they did in London 2012. That is why we continue to support elite sports funding, and why we secured an excellent settlement in the latest Autumn Statement - that will build on our Olympic and Paralympic success at the London Games 2012, and ensure we compete with the top nations in Tokyo 2020 and beyond.

UK Sport will publish agreed medal targets for Rio 2016 on a sport by sport basis in July.
