Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will take steps to mark the retirement of Sir Andy Murray.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
I am delighted to take this opportunity to wish Sir Andy well in his retirement. He has contributed a huge amount to British sport throughout his long career, both on and off the court.
We know how important access to facilities is as part of the legacy of our sporting heroes, so people can try the sports they see on screen. The Government has committed to continue to support grassroots facilities across the UK.
