To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what assessment he has made of the recommendations relevant to his Department's policy responsibilities made in the Foresight report on Mental Capacity and Well-Being; and if he will make a statement.
Gerry Sutcliffe (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Sport), Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Bradford South, Labour)
The Department was pleased to read the Foresight report and will be considering it with a view to taking up any relevant findings.
Part of that process will involve an assessment of what the report might mean for DCMS policy on the impacts of engaging with culture and sport and the Department will report on this in due course.
