Swimming Pools: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to paragraph 4.18 of the Spring Budget 2023, HC1183, published on 15 March 2023, whether the funds allocated to support swimming pools will be available for (a) new and (b) replacement facilities.

Answer

At the Budget, we announced a dedicated £63 million support package for swimming pools which is targeted at addressing cost pressures facing public swimming pool providers. It will also help provide investment in energy efficiency measures to reduce future operating costs and make existing facilities sustainable in the long-term.

This fund will not be available for new and replacement facilities.
