	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2023 answer text <p>Major sporting events bring a wide range of benefits to this country and the Government remains committed to maintaining its world-leading track record in this area. As part of the Government’s ‘net zero’ pledge, we work closely with domestic event organisers and international federations to ensure they are delivered as sustainably as possible.</p><p>We demonstrated this, for example, through our delivery of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

This document is being refreshed with the intention of publishing an update in the coming months.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 19/01/2023 13:02:08 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
