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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps the Government is taking to help ensure the financial security of UK Athletics.

UK Sport - the Department’s Arm’s Length Body on elite sport - works very closely with UK Athletics and other National Governing Bodies.

UK Sport is continuing to invest in both UK Athletics’ elite performance and major events programmes. This includes an investment of £22,175,520 in the Athletics World Class Programme and an investment of £9,065,401 in the Para Athletics World Class Programme across the four year cycle leading to Paris 2024.

UK Sport is investing £1.45 million in the 2024 World Indoor Athletics Championships in Glasgow and £3 million in the 2026 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham.
