We are committed to making the UK the safest place in the world for users to be online. In October last year we published the Internet Safety Strategy green paper. This sets out a range of measures which will ensure social media companies tackle online bullying.<\/p>

Everyone, regardless of their age, background and level of ability, should feel able to get involved in sport and physical activity. The government and Sport England strategies, Sporting Future\u2019 and \u2018Towards an Active Nation\u2019, place a clear emphasis on targeting those who are hardest to reach and less likely to be active, including those from lower socio-economic groups and those with protected characteristics.<\/p>

The figures in the table below show the proportion (%) of regional gross value added (GVA) generated by the Heritage Sector across each region in England in the last five years, based on DCMS economic estimates, and without adjusting for inflation.<\/p>

<\/p>

It is however recognised that our published estimates are likely to be an underestimate for the Heritage sector due to a narrow definition of the sector. We are working with Historic England to address this matter.<\/p>

<\/p>

GVA for DCMS sectors can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/684142/Regional_GVA_2016_SubSector_tables.xlsx<\/a><\/p>

If this is to happen progress must continue to be made in the wider culture of sport to ensure women are treated equally to men at all levels. I know that the LTA are committed to using this opportunity to look at how they can most effectively tackle the gap that exists.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3950", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Chatham and Aylesford"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Tracey Crouch"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-03-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-03-20T17:53:14.873Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-03-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Lawn Tennis Association: Equal Pay"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if he will take steps to rectify the 31 per cent mean gender pay gap in the Lawn Tennis Association.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4573", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Rosena Allin-Khan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Tooting"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dr Rosena Allin-Khan"} ], "uin" : "132764"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "https://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&max-ddpCreated=2018-11-05T22%3A17%3A13.963Z&max-ddpModified.=2018-09-06T11%3A40%3A02.901Z&AnsweringBody.=Department+for+Digital%2C+Culture%2C+Media+and+Sport&max-questionFirstAnswered.=2018-03-22T13%3A03%3A00.243Z", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1514, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
