uin	113090
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2017 answer text <p>We work closely with the Department for Education on a wide range of issues including children’s and young person’s sport. This includes the Ministerial School Sport Board, which I attend along with the Minister of State for Children and Families and the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health and Primary Care. Through the primary PE and sport premium, the government has invested over £600m of ring-fenced funding to primary schools to improve PE and sport since 2013. By using revenue from the soft drinks industry levy, we have doubled the premium funding from £160m to £320m a year. This funding is providing directly to schools to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 27/11/2017 15:19:56 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
