Question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it plans to make a submission to the EU consultation on sport policy.
Answer
The Scottish Government will be responding to the EU consultation on sport policy. The UK Government is co-ordinating the response.
However, Sport is a devolved responsibility and Scotland is recognised as having a different approach and the Scottish Government will ensure that the interests of Scottish Sport are represented in any UK wide response to the consultation. That makes it even more important for us to feed into the development of any UK-wide response to the consultation. We are actively engaged with the UK Government on how Scotland can help shape the UK position.
