The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has had no such discussions.

NGBs are typically independent, self-appointed organisations that govern their sports through the common consent of their sport. Transparency is an important principal of good governance, and is reflected in our Code for Sport Governance, with which all bodies in receipt of UK Sport or Sport England funding must now demonstrate compliance. <\/ins><\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
