Watch the meeting Members present: Julian Knight (Chair); Kevin Brennan; Alex Davies-Jones; Clive Efford; Julie Elliott; Damian Green; Damian Hinds; John Nicolson; Giles Watling. Questions 490 - 525 Witnesses I: Nigel Huddleston MP, Minister for Sport and Tourism, Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport; and Ben Dean, Director, Sport, Gambling and Ceremonials, Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Examination of Witnesses Witnesses: Nigel Huddleston MP and Ben Dean. Q490 Chair: Now we move on to round two, so to speak, which is on sport in our communities. Again we are joined by Nigel Huddleston, the Minister, and Ben Dean. You would have seen the figures, Minister, in terms of the drop-off in activity during lockdown 1. Obviously we are not completely through lockdown 2, or is it 3—2.5, I think—so we do not know the drop- off there. What is your response to that drop-off in activity? Nigel Huddleston: It absolutely concerns me because, as Government, we have a strategy and a goal for increasing activity levels, because we all know the physical and mental health benefits of it. The November-to- November decline in Active Lives was about 1.9% overall. In some ways some people might be surprised that it was not a lot more than that. I was concerned before I saw the numbers that it might be a lot more than that.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Khelo India Youth Games 2019, an event that unearths talent and binds India’s youth Pune, January 5: An aspirational, sporting and young India will find complete representation in the Khelo India Youth Games, which will be held here from January 9. The 6000-plus athletes will truly reflect the diversity of the nation’s youth and showcase their dreams, their hopes and their desire to make India shine on global platforms. They will not only come from urban and rural areas from the 29 States and seven Union Territories but also span a wide range of ages – from 10 to 21 years. Some like Jisna Mathew, who was part of the Indian team in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, will come with experience. Backstroke swimming specialist SrihariNataraj has already been to the Commonwealth and Asian Games. On the contrary, three 10-year-old athletes – footballer Pratima Kumar (Jharkhand), Mizoram hockey player Laltlanchhungi and West Bengal’s 10m air rifle shooter Abhinav Shaw, who became India’s youngest National shooting gold medallist in November last – will pick up their first experience of competing in large-scale multidiscipline event. The 6000-odd athletes will compete in 18 different disciplines, including a variety of individual and team sport, disciplines in which India has a tradition of excellence and traditional games like kabaddi and kho-kho.Yet, you can be sure that these athletes will be bound by the common ambition of making India proud with their pursuit of competitive sport. No matter which part of India he or she comes from or which discipline he or she has chosen to compete in, there athletes will be driven to excel so that television broadcasts and web streams will make them earn plaudits from sports fans across the country.
