Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what grants and loans his Department has made available to support the development of grassroots rugby league in the last five years.
Since 2010 Sport England has invested £32.8 million of National Lottery and Grant-in-Aid funding in the Rugby Football League, local rugby league clubs and community projects to support the development of grassroots rugby league. Rugby League’s Whole Sport Plan funding is now a mix of investment in the RFL and in club foundation community projects.
