Following a consultation in summer 2016, Corporation Tax (CT) relief for contributions to grassroots sports will be expanded from 1 April 2017. This measure will make it easier for CT payers to receive a deduction for contributions to grassroots sports, thereby encouraging sports participation at a local level, and reducing administrative burdens for some organisations which currently make contributions to grassroots sports.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 13/09/2017 14:45:19 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2018 answer text <p>Sport England collects data on the number of people aged 16+ who engage in sport and physical activity in England through the Active Lives Survey. The latest data is available online (covering the period May 2016 to May 2017): https://www.sportengland.org/media/12458/active-lives-adult-may-16-17-report.pdf</p><p>The Active Lives Survey replaced the Active People Survey which collected data from the period of October 2005 to September 2016. Data is available online: https://www.sportengland.org/research/about-our-research/active-people-survey/. Owing to the different methodologies employed, the data sets from the two surveys are not directly comparable.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Active Lives Survey does not currently capture data for children. Government’s Sporting Future strategy, published in 2015, extended the remit of Sport England to include children aged 5 years and up, outside of the school day. In line with this, Sport England has developed the Active Lives Children survey which is capturing data for children aged 5-15, both in and outside of school. The survey was launched in schools in September 2017 with the first set of results available in early 2019.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch grouped question UIN 122752 question first answered 22/01/2018 16:19:17 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
