answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2021 answer text <p>The Chief Medical Officer is clear that being physically active is important to long-term health and crucial for keeping people healthy. Sports and physical activity have been shown to treat, manage and prevent a range of conditions including heart disease, cancers, diabetes, stress, depression or anxiety. It can also bring communities together and tackle issues such as loneliness. That’s why we have continued to make sure that people can exercise throughout the national and the local tiered restrictions.</p><p> </p><p>Sport England’s Active Lives Adult and Children surveys provide information not only on activity levels but also on social outcomes such as physical and mental wellbeing too. The latest reports can be found <a href="https://www.sportengland.org/know-your-audience/data/active-lives?section=access_the_reports" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Furthermore, last month Sport England published its new strategy Uniting the Movement which sets out their 10 year vision to transform lives and communities through sport and physical activity. The strategy seeks to tackle the inequalities we have seen in sport and physical activity and provide opportunities to people that have traditionally been left behind including women and those with a disability, helping to remove barriers to activity.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 02/03/2021 09:31:26 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2021 answer text <p>Musicians and performers can continue to work and tour in the EU. However, while some activities undertaken by creative professionals will be covered by the Short Term Business Visitor clause of the agreement (including attending meetings or trade shows) and will therefore not require a work permit, other activities will not be covered and could therefore require visas or work permits.</p><p>UK cultural professionals seeking to tour within the EU will be required to check domestic immigration rules for each Member State in which they intend to tour. Although some Member States allow touring without a permit, others will require a visa, work permit or other documentation. We are working with the sector to make the arrangements as clear as possible.</p><p>Where visas apply, our agreement with the EU contains measures that will help ensure processes are as smooth as possible. This includes minimum processing standards and transparency provisions that mean guidance for business travellers must be clear and regularly updated.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 02/03/2021 16:12:15 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
