PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Impact Assessments: Sports (22 November 2017)

The Department for Exiting the European Union, working with officials across government, continues to undertake a wide range of analysis to support progress in the negotiations.

However, as I said in my opening remarks to the House on 1 November and reiterated in my statement on 28 November, the Government has not produced a series of sectoral impact assessments. The sectoral analysis which has been conducted is a wide mix of analysis contained in a range of documents developed at different times since the referendum, covering a variety of sectors from across the UK economy. While there is no specific Sports report, the Sports sector will be directly and indirectly affected by issues raised in other reports such as broadcasting and professional business services.

Recognising the importance of Sport we have been working closely with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport to engage with a range of sporting organisations at both ministerial and official level.
