– in the House of Commons at on 16 September 2021.
Before we move on to questions, may I just say that I wish Oliver Dowden well? He worked well, but I know he has a very able replacement. I welcome the new Secretary of State, who I know must have the greatest interest in rugby league; I welcome her team—herself and the new Minister.
The Secretary of State was asked—
What her Department’s involvement is in the fan-led review of football governance.
What recent progress her Department has made on the roll-out of gigabit broadband.
What plans she has to tackle fraudulent online advertisements.
When she plans to allocate funding under the £500 million youth investment fund.
What progress the Government have made on supporting touring musicians to continue to work in Europe following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.
What steps her Department is taking to help the live events sector to return and recover from the covid-19 outbreak.
What steps her Department is taking to support the recovery of the tourism industry.
What steps she is taking to strengthen and promote public service broadcasting.
If she will make a statement on her departmental responsibilities.
