Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions he has had with the English Premier League on promoting grass roots sport.
Answered by Tracey Crouch
The Minister for Sport and Tourism has already had a number of discussions with the Premier League about how best to support the game. Further meetings are planned in the weeks and months ahead, but we are agreed that football's grassroots need greater investment and we will work in partnership to ensure that this happens.
