answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2022 answer text <p>Racism has no place in sport, or in wider society. The Government is committed to ensuring sport does all it can to tackle racism and all forms of discrimination both domestically and internationally.</p><p>Grassroots sport is devolved, however I meet with my counterparts in the devolved authorities, including the Welsh Minister for Sport, at least twice a year to discuss shared areas of interest in sport.</p><p>Our respective sports councils are also collaborating on work to tackle racism in sport. In June 2021, Sport England, UK Sport and the other home nations’ sports councils published the results of a detailed, independent review into tackling racism and racial inequality in sport. The review agreed on some initial overarching commitments that all five organisations will work on together, relating to people; representation; investment, systems and insights. In December 2021, the five Sports Councils released a <a href="https://www.uksport.gov.uk/news/2021/12/21/tackling-racism-and-racial-inequality-in-sport-6-month-update" target="_blank">joint update</a> outlining the current actions being taken to address the commitments.</p><p>There is still more to do, and we will continue to work with the sports councils to combat racism.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 13/01/2022 15:08:38 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
