DCMS acted to support Premiership Rugby during the COVID-19 pandemic when their need was most acute. Loan financing was provided on favourable terms to applicant organisations, and DCMS is now collecting those repayments as intended.
DCMS is not able to comment on the specifics of individual loans given their commercial sensitivity.
