answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2020 answer text <p>The government is clear that racism has no place in sport or society at large. The sport and physical activity strategy ‘Sporting Future: A New Strategy for an Active Nation’ has diversity and inclusion at its heart. Government remains supportive of a number of anti-racism initiatives that work with sports bodies from grassroots to the elite, including Show Racism the Red Card and Kick it Out.</p><p>Over the past year the government has led debates in the House of Commons on tackling racism in sport (on 22nd May 2019 and 12th July 2019), and hosted an Anti-Racism Summit in February 2019. This led to the three main English football organisations making clear commitments to tackle racism in football stadia from July 2019. The Sports Minister met with the FA last week and discussed their progress in delivering against these commitments, and will be calling in all the footballing authorities for a further update about their work on this important issue. Further to these commitments, ministers and officials continue to speak to the FA and relevant football bodies to explore what more can be done.</p><p>Grassroots sport clubs receive support in tackling racism from our national sport council, Sport England, who provide free support and learning in running a club through its &quot;Club Matters&quot; programme.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 27/01/2020 17:26:53 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

question text	Her Majesty's Government whether, and if so how, they intend to ensure that UK consumers will continue to have the same benefits in respect of roaming charges as they currently enjoy under EU legislation after Brexit; and whether they intend to legislate to ensure that UK mobile services providers give the same protection to UK citizens as EU citizens in the EU currently enjoy.
tabling member printed	Lord Bowness

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2020 answer text <p>The current rules on mobile roaming in the EU endure until the end of the Transition Period. Following the Transition Period the arrangements for roaming, including surcharges, would depend on the outcome of the negotiations with the EU. Discussions with the EU on arrangements for consumers, for example in the area of mobile roaming, are not precluded. However, the government has already legislated to ensure that the requirements on mobile operators to apply a financial limit on mobile data usage while abroad is retained in UK law post-Transition Period.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 13/02/2020 16:43:44 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
