Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what plans his Department has for the promotion and development of rugby league.
The Government, through Sport England, is investing £17.5m between 2013 and 2017 to get more people playing rugby league and to support talented individuals within the sport. I am keen to meet the Rugby Football League soon to discuss expanding the game across the country.
