answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2023 answer text <p>The Government remains committed to ensuring that communities across the UK have the sporting facilities they need. We are investing over £300 million between 2022 and 2025 on multi-sport facilities, as well as an additional £22 million on tennis courts in local parks between 2022 and 2024.</p><p>Planning for these programmes factors in the impact of inflation - including the increases in energy costs, construction costs, and the cost of certain materials, such as steel and imported wood. We work closely with delivery partners to understand and assess these impacts in order to ensure these programmes - and similar non-government investment into elite and grassroots sporting infrastructure - continue to deliver for local communities.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 07/02/2023 16:29:20 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
