The government, through Sport England, works in partnership with local authorities to maximise the impact of this investment and safeguard it within the tough economic climate in which we all operate.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Sports policy is devolved and therefore the investment in swimming pools in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is a matter for the devolved governments and Sport Wales, Sport Scotland and Sport Northern Ireland respectively.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 12/07/2017 14:42:46 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Tracey Crouch
