answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2023 answer text <p>In Scotland, funding from the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/multi-sport-grassroots-facilities-programme-projects-2021-to-2025" target="_blank">Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme</a> is delivered through the Scottish Football Association (SFA), with recipients chosen via an application process involving advice from a panel which includes Sport Scotland.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2023 answer text <p>Decisions on the allocation of funds under the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme are devolved to relevant sporting bodies in respective parts of the UK, as they have appropriate expertise and understanding of local provision. Sport Scotland provides advice and guidance alongside the Scottish FA through the project selection process. Details on the Scottish FA’s approach are published <a href="https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/football-development/scottish-fa-grassroots-pitch-facilities-fund/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>However, multi-sport benefit is a key pillar of the grassroots facilities programme and we stipulate that at least 40% of projects must benefit at least one other sport in addition to football, on a sustained and regular basis. There is no requirement for particular sports to be prioritised as part of this objective, and multi-sport plans are led by local need.</p><p>Projects are selected for a variety of reasons - some for their ability to deliver improved facilities in deprived areas, others may support multi-sport use, and/or increase participation among currently under-represented groups — such as women and girls or disabled players.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 11/09/2023 16:12:51 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2016 answer text <p>We believe that everyone should have equal access to arts and culture - having a disability should not be a barrier to enjoying Britain's awe-inspiring cultural treasures. That is why we are working with venues and organisations representing disabled people to identify barriers to access, while at the same time seeing how we can share examples of best practice and what more cultural venues need to do to be accessible to people with disabilities. We support the work of Attitude is Everything, which works with audiences, artists and the music industry to improve deaf and disabled people’s access to live events. I also recently held a roundtable meeting with Justin Tomlinson, Minister for Disabled People, to look at access to cultural venues and events for disabled people.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 27/01/2016 14:06:29 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
