The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (Nigel Huddleston)

Gentleman knows, we have stepped in to support sport to the tune of £1 billion during the pandemic, with £100 million specifically to support leisure centres, to enable them to survive during covid and then remain open.
