To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 22 April 2024 to Question 21037 on Football: Disadvantaged, whether her Department is taking steps to help ensure the provision of changing facilities for women at sports and recreational grounds.

Answered by Stuart Andrew - Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport

The Government is committed to delivering top class sports facilities across the country, so that everyone can take part in sport and physical activity. As part of this commitment, DCMS is delivering an historic level of over £400 million in direct investment to build or upgrade thousands of grassroots sport facilities across the UK. This includes the £320 million Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme, which includes conditions on funding regarding equal access for women and girls, as well as directly delivering funding for new changing facilities.

Government’s investment also includes £25 million for the Lionesses Futures Fund for up to 30 brand new artificial pitches in England in 2024/25, with gold-standard women and girls provision that includes appropriate changing and toilet facilities.

The Football Foundation also delivers a specific funding stream for projects seeking to improve changing rooms and pavilions for all players, but especially women and girls. Further details are available on the Football Foundation’s website.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many and what proportion of people employed at his Department's office in Darlington have previously held posts in Whitehall.

Answered by Gareth Davies - Shadow Financial Secretary (Treasury)

HM Treasury continues to drive forward the government’s levelling up agenda by establishing roles in the Darlington Economic Campus and the 2022-23 Annual Reports and Accounts celebrates our achievement in building sustainable careers outside of London.

The department is unable to answer this question in full due to the use of the term ‘Whitehall’. It is unclear whether this means those based in Whitehall or a term used to describe all Civil Service departments.

However, information on HM Treasury colleagues based in Darlington is available in the Annual Report and Accounts, here: HM Treasury annual report and accounts 2022 to 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
