Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she is taking steps to celebrate the 100th anniversary of greyhound racing in the UK.

The Government recognises the contribution that greyhound racing has made to the nation’s economy and cultural landscape since the first race on 26th July 1926 in Manchester. DCMS officials regularly engage with the Greyhound Board for Great Britain on a range of issues, and are exploring opportunities to celebrate the sport’s centenary.
