The regulatory framework defines a clear remit with respect to consumer regulation; where a failure to meet consumer standards has caused, or may cause, serious detriment.</p><p>The Regulator’s transition to an independent entity will not change its statutory powers or objectives.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2016 answer text <p>Government is committed to increasing physical activity as set out in our sport strategy, ‘Sporting Future: A New Strategy for an Active Nation’ published late last year. That strategy removed the artificial barriers between sport and wider physical activity, broadening Sport England’s remit to include cycling, dancing and walking. The recently published Sport England strategy, ‘Towards an Active Nation’, sets out their plans to implement this new approach.</p><p> </p><p>I recognise that creating a more active society will require action by a range of bodies working together over a significant period of time. I therefore welcome the work of Legacy Park Ltd in Sheffield in bringing together partners across local government, the health sector, academia, elite and community sport and the private sector. I look forward to seeing their ambitious plans to establish sport facilities for elite and community use and an Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre that would work with the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine to provide health and wellbeing research and learning.</p> answering member constituency Bexleyheath and Crayford answering member printed David Evennett question first answered 13/06/2016 13:59:47 answering member 1198 label Biography information for Sir David Evennett
