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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if she will (a) make anti-racism, equality and diversity targets in cricket a ministerial priority and (b) report annually on the progress being made on achieving those targets.

The forthcoming update of UK Sport and Sport England’s “Code for Sports Governance” will place an increased focus on diversity in decision making and ensuring that sports organisations reflect the community they serve.

Sports receiving the most public funding will be required to agree a diversity and inclusion action plan with Sport England and UK Sport, which will be published and updated annually.
