Does the Secretary of State agree that we need to support local initiatives to encourage more girls to get into—or back into—and remain in sport? I myself enjoyed a long and prosperous rugby career playing in national league 1. Will she join me in congratulating Somerton rugby football club on its new girls rugby “skills and social” nights?

What plans do the Government have to preserve the character of historic market towns such as Gainsborough?

Coverage of yesterday's Commons chaos showed how desperately we need good-quality journalism, so I am concerned about BBC Scotland's request to Ofcom for a reduction in its broadcast news output, especially the loss of “The Nine”. Despite concerns, will the Minister oppose this change?

Cheadle Town FC have been a member of the north west counties football league since 1983. However, the oversubscribed division leaves Cheadle Town and other south Manchester clubs at risk of being moved laterally into a midlands division, meaning a significant increase in the club's travel costs and an impact on gates, breaking their identity as a northern club, and challenging their future viability. I have met the Football Association and raised the club's concerns. Will my right hon. and learned Friend join me in urging the FA to review its processes and listen to south Manchester clubs that want to keep their teams northern?

This week in the House, I raised with the Economic Secretary to the Treasury the fact that serious delays in His Majesty's Revenue and Customs issuing A1 forms mean that touring musicians are waiting months to be paid. A1 forms ensure that musicians do not have to pay additional tax when touring in the EU, but some musicians are waiting six to nine months, or even a year, for those forms. One leading singer told me that musicians feel like “hostages” of HMRC incompetence, so what is the Secretary of State doing alongside Treasury Ministers to sort out this mess, which is hitting UK musicians so hard?

What assessment has the Minister made of the BBC's proposals to launch four new national music radio stations and to relaunch an existing station? To my mind, those proposals are a direct imitation of commercial broadcasters' innovation, and the time and resource that the BBC is investing could be better spent in reversing the cuts to BBC local radio—a source of distinctive public service content that is not available anywhere else on the same medium.

Now that the Government have moved to repeal section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013, there remains no legislative measure to convince print media to sign up to the state regulator. How do the Government plan to finally give the state regulator the power to do its job?

Can we recognise pickleball as a national sport, and will the sport Minister come to the Dunstable Hunters pickleball club, where he will see men, women, grandparents and grandchildren having a wonderful time?

On the annual sales limit on the People's Postcode Lottery, since the advent of the pandemic, funding and fundraising have come under increasing pressure. Saje Scotland, a domestic violence charity, was unable to access funding due to these limits. Will he at least consider an additional uplift to the annual sales limit in the interim?

Does my right hon. and learned Friend agree that individual sports clubs have a role to play in providing youth services? Can I thank the Government for funding Lichfield sports club and Chasetown football club, which have both received grants for the work they do—grants that reach up to £2.5 million?

The Government's promise to protect music creators from the potential negative impacts of artificial intelligence relied on a deal between tech companies and the music industry. However, it emerged earlier this month that those discussions have collapsed. Will the Secretary of State admit that their plan has failed, and say what the Government are going to do about it to support the creative sector?

I refer Members to my entry in the Register of Members' Financial Interests. Will the Minister please update us on the independent regulator, and can he quite literally get the ball rolling to get this Bill in front of the House?

The chair of Girlguiding UK has recently informed me that with Government funding, Girlguiding can at least be sustained in three overseas military bases. Will the Minister update me on his discussions to ensure that girls living on UK overseas military bases can continue to access Girlguiding?

What are the Government doing to promote facilities for padel tennis?

There have been a number of late postponements of football matches recently, causing massive inconvenience and putting many fans, including Barnsley football club fans, seriously out of pocket. I have suggested to the English Football League that it adopts a postponement promise that would stop that from happening. Will the Minister work with me on that?

Does my right hon. Friend share my concern that the large number of inquiries that Ofcom has launched against GB News, for conducting itself in exactly the same fashion as other channels routinely do, is in danger of looking biased and political, and that Ofcom is in danger of putting itself in judicial review territory?
