To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what assessment she has made of the investment made by England Athletics to improve access to athletics for people from the most disadvantaged areas of England; and what assessment she has made of any change in athletics take-up resulting from that funding.
As part of their investment into the sport, England Athletics works in communities across the country and takes seriously the issue of engaging with deprived communities. This can be seen through their work with Street Games as well as their commitment to work in communities throughout the country.
