The Data Protection Bill currently going through the Houses of Parliament also includes tougher rules on consent and strengthens the rights of data subjects, giving them more control over their data.</p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 19/12/2017 14:03:10 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde

Sport England has committed up to £194 million of investment into children and young people over the next four years, which includes the Families Fund: up to £40 million which will be invested in projects that offer new opportunities for families with children to do sport and physical activity together.</p><p> </p><p>Through the primary PE and sport premium, the government has invested over £600m of ring-fenced funding to primary schools to improve PE and sport since 2013. This funding is provided directly to schools to drive additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer. But we know there is more to do, which is why we have doubled funding for the Premium from £160m to £320m a year, using revenue from the soft drinks industry levy. The proceeds of the levy will also provide £100m funding for the Healthy Pupils Capital Fund in 2018-19, which will help pupils to benefit from healthier, more active lifestyles.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 19/12/2017 09:41:12 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
