The government will look to enforce equal access to grassroots sport, with girls still getting the short end of the stick despite extra investment at the local level, the culture secretary has said.
Lisa Nandy told the culture, media and sport committee on Wednesday, that girls were often able to access facilities only “at nine o’clock at night” due to boys teams taking priority and that future funding of sports bodies could come with conditions that require more equitable use of facilities.
