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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what meetings he has had with the Premier League in the last 12 months to discuss funding for grassroots football.

Ministers regularly meet with the Premier League to discuss a variety of matters, including to ensure a healthy proportion of their broadcasting revenues goes to funding grassroots football. For example, up to 2019 the grassroots is benefitting from £100million a year investment from the Premier League. We negotiated this commitment, which is double the previous amount, and is set out in "Sporting Future" the Government's strategy for sport and physical activity.

Details of Ministerial meetings are published on a quarterly basis on gov.uk
