To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with local authorities to promote the Community Amateur Sports Club scheme. [HL1825]

The Government have not had any recent discussions with local authorities about the Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) scheme. However the Minister for Sport recently visited a number of sports clubs in Sheffield that are CASC registered, coinciding with which DCMS issued a press release promoting the benefits of the CASC scheme and encouraging more clubs to register.
