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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the safety of artificial grass football pitches.

The safety, wellbeing and welfare of everyone taking part in sport is absolutely paramount. Artificial Grass Pitches (AGPs) provide durable, safe, year-round playing surfaces, helping more people to access the benefits of physical activity.

We remain committed to working with the sports sector to help ensure the safety of all participants in sport.

Both the Government and Sport England will continue to monitor the latest research relating to the safety of AGP pitches.
