To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to promote equality as part of the Government mission entitled Break Down Barriers to Opportunity.

Through the Opportunity Mission, we’re creating a fairer Britain, giving every child the best start in life and building the skills to drive economic growth and open up opportunities for all. We’re already making progress to ensure where you're from doesn't determine where you end up in life. For example, we have named the first 750 schools introducing free breakfast clubs, helping 180,000 children start the day ready to learn, including 67,000 children in deprived areas.

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to support grassroots football in Scotland.

Grassroots sports are the backbone of Scottish communities, and that is why we are investing a further £8.6 million this year in sports facilities across Scotland.

Through this scheme, almost 100 facilities across Scotland, including in our island and rural communities, have been built or upgraded and with this new funding, we can look forward to many more.

This scheme will increase participation, improve health and help people of all ages to enjoy the benefits of sport.

Ian Murray
Secretary of State for Scotland
