answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2018 answer text <p>The setting and environment in which sport and physical activity takes place has a big impact on the likelihood of people taking part, and continuing to take part, in the activity. As set out in government's Sporting Future strategy, government is committed to investing in facilities that are designed and built around customer need and that reflect people's preferences for how they want to engage with sport and physical activity. The strategy is clear that Sport England investment in major sports and physical activity facility projects should include a presumption in favour of co-locating sports and physical activity facilities with other types of community facilities to make it easier for people to get active.</p><p> </p><p>Government has received representations on the Wellness Hub proposal from Sport England and ukactive and is working with both organisations to understand the implications of the proposal and how best to take this forward.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 14/02/2018 13:19:24 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
