Sports and physical activity facilities play a crucial role in supporting adults and children to be active and the Government is committed to reopening facilities as soon as it is safe to do so. Since 4 July other indoor facilities, including some indoor games, recreation and entertainment venues have reopened.</p><p><br>As with all aspects of the Government’s response to COVID-19, we continue to be guided by public health considerations to ensure that as restrictions are eased people can return to activity safely.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston grouped question UIN 72874 72997 73023 73079 question first answered 20/08/2020 14:32:44 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
