answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2020 answer text <p>Sports and physical activity are incredibly important for our physical and mental health, and are a vital weapon against coronavirus. That’s why we made sure that people could exercise at least once a day even during the height of the first period of enhanced national restrictions and why we opened up grassroots sport and leisure facilities as soon as it was safe to do so.</p><p>Organised outdoor sport is exempt from legal gathering limits across all levels. This means that organised outdoor team sport and outdoor exercise classes, as well as outdoor licensed physical activity, can happen with any number of participants, as long as undertaken in line with published COVID-secure guidance. This includes fishing clubs located on private land.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 16/12/2020 14:01:41 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2020 answer text <p>In line with Government guidance at the time, The National Archives was closed to the Public during the early stages of the COVID outbreak. I receive regular updates from The National Archives on the implementation of its reopening strategy, and current work to make its services safe for the public.</p><p>In order to be Covid-secure in line with scientific evidence, The National Archives has been forced to reduce the number of visitors to around 15% of usual capacity to allow for social distancing, and is implementing a 72-hour quarantine of accessed records. This inevitably impacts upon The National Archives’ ability to deliver its services as it ordinarily would. As well as this in-person service, The National Archives has continued free access to digital records through its Digital Downloads service, which has supported the download of over 1 million records by around 80,000 users since April 2020.</p><p>The measures which are currently in place are subject to weekly review and The National Archives are also undertaking surveys of users to take feedback on its provision, the results of which are shared with myself.</p><p>I appreciate that this reduced provision will have a particular impact on intensive users such as historians as well as the general public, but I and the Archives are cognizant of the need to balance the desire for greater access to public records with the need to ensure the continuing safety of The National Archives’ audiences. With this consideration in mind, I will continue to monitor the situation in collaboration with The National Archives.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Mr John Whittingdale question first answered 14/10/2020 13:01:17 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2020 answer text <p>My officials are working closely with the British Film Institute (BFI) to ensure that appropriate support is in place for those independent cinema owners applying to the Culture Recovery Fund. We recognise that some independent cinema owners will not have had much experience applying for Government funding and as a result we have agreed with the BFI a range of measures to support their applications.</p><p>This includes detailed guidance notes, a robust supporting Q&amp;A document, dedicated contact points to answer questions, and proactive engagement from the BFI’s Film Audience Network and its regional English Film Hubs to actively promote the Fund and support applicants through the required process. DCMS and the BFI have also been promoting the Fund through press and comms channels and encouraging potential applicants to apply. It is also positive that the industry has provided further support, with the UK Cinema Association setting up a series of meetings for their members to better understand the application process.</p><p>The Culture Recovery Fund is intended to support the nation’s most important national, regional, and local organisations and funding will not be available for every organisation. As such it is critical that we scrutinise applications against rigorous criteria and continue to act to support applications from all eligible cinemas.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 09/09/2020 15:07:59 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
