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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent meetings he has had with representatives of the Premier League to discuss that body's financial commitment to grassroots football.

I met with the Chief Executive of the Premier League to discuss this, and other topics on the 20th May. Further discussions are planned, and together we will work in partnership to ensure that funding for grassroots football remains strong.
