answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2015 answer text <p>Government remains committed to supporting young people’s participation in sport and to ensuring that they can access sporting opportunities, regardless of their background. Sport England research shows that the most frequently stated reasons for young people doing more or less sport is not necessarily cost, but actually whether the ‘offer’ is right, injury/illness and also time-related pressures. Government is committed to ensuring that barriers to participation are broken down. Between 2012 and 2017 Sport England is investing almost £450 million to get more young people playing sport, with a focus on making sure that sport is delivered at the right place, at the right time and in the right style.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 22/07/2015 10:19:39 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

Since the 2013/14 academic year, a ring-fenced primary school sports fund of over £150m per year has been in place. This fund, the PE and School Sport Premium, is paid direct to every primary school headteacher in England and is ring-fenced.

They were designed to build on the 2012 Games and enable every child to participate in competitive sport, including disabled children. 19,000 schools have signed up to the School Games and over 7,000,000 young people have taken part in the Games since their inception. School Games alumni are making their presence felt in elite sporting competition: 150 competitors in last year's Glasgow Commonwealth Games had previously competed at the School Games.</p><p> </p><p>Other elements of the sporting legacy include:</p><p> </p><p>· 1.4 million more people playing sport once a week than when we won the bid in 2005</p><p>· more than £1bn over 5 years invested in youth and community sport</p><p>· a 13% increase in funding for elite sport for the four years leading to Rio 2016 (a 7% increase for Olympic athletes and a 45% increase for Paralympians)</p><p>· more than 12,000 visits to schools and communities by 1,477 GB Olympic and Paralymipc athletes since London 2012.</p><p> </p><p>The sporting legacy benefits from London 2012 are being felt across England.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 22/07/2015 10:56:20 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
