answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/07/2015 answer text <p>On 7<sup>th</sup> July I met with Councillor Stephens from the Local Government Association and I am always open to engaging with local authority representatives on this important subject. Local authorities have a very important role in ensuring people from all backgrounds are able to participate in sport. They own or manage a large amount of sporting infrastructure in the country and have a responsibility to make sure that facilities and infrastructure are available and accessible. The Government, through Sport England, works closely with a wide range of local authorities, providing expert advice and funding to sustain and increase the number of people playing sport regularly.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 28/07/2015 14:12:18 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
