Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Gregory Campbell and Stephanie Peacock

Thursday 28th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Stephanie Peacock]

I will of course put on record that I wish the team good luck and send them my huge thanks and congratulations. The work that we are doing to support grassroots football, through our multi-sport grassroots facilities programme, will hopefully grow the grassroots game.

[Mr Gregory Campbell (East Londonderry) (DUP)]

The Minister will be aware that there is a sub-regional stadia strategy in Northern Ireland. Will she have discussions with my colleague, the Minister for Communities in Northern Ireland, to see what assistance, information and additional resources can be deployed to ensure there is widespread development of grassroots football in Northern Ireland?

[Stephanie Peacock]

I have previously had discussions with my counterpart in Northern Ireland and I will be delighted to do so again. I am hoping to visit Northern Ireland in the coming months.
