The Racing Foundation’s funding supported participants such as jockeys and trainers directly, while the HBLB provided grants and capital loans to courses. HBLB has also increased its contributions to prize money by 50% during the pandemic to mitigate lower amounts made available by courses due to Covid. As well as funding welfare projects directly, HBLB’s contributions to prize money enable the industry to maintain fixture lists and field sizes, which in turn facilitates investment in equine welfare.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>On 19 November 2020 the Government announced a rescue package worth £300 million to help major spectator sports including horse racing which were affected by the coronavirus pandemic. As a summer sport, horse racing is also expected to benefit from a further £300m for the recovery package across all sports including horseracing that was announced in the recent budget.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 15/03/2021 08:35:33 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale

It is not the final answer, but part of a conversation about the way that we support the use of data in the UK.</p><p>We have completed initial research to develop our evidence base on the opportunities and rationale for Government intervention to enable and encourage better access to data held outside government, such as PAF data owned by Royal Mail. This, and our response to NDS consultation submissions, will be published shortly.

Stringent planning activity through open market reviews and public reviews set out which premises within a region are able to be targeted as part of a procurement process, setting out an intervention area.

It is the subsequent public procurement process that broadband infrastructure providers respond to that confirms which premises within the stipulated intervention area can be modelled and delivered to.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 12/03/2021 16:22:20 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman
