answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2016 answer text <p>The brilliant performance of Team GB at this year’s Olympic Games will have inspired many to take part in sport and physical activity. We are determined to get more people from under-represented groups including women and ethnic minorities taking part in sport and physical activity and to remove any barrier that prevents them from doing so. Government’s sport strategy ‘Sporting Future: A New Strategy for An Active Nation’ states that in future government will, via Sport England, support work designed to get more people from under-represented groups engaging in sport and physical activity and wherever possible, this focus on under-represented groups will run through all Sport England funding.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen question first answered 16/09/2016 10:46:19 answering member 4330 label Biography information for Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen
