It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms McVey. I must first congratulate the hon. Member for Neath on having secured this debate and making the case for including squash as a future Olympic sport with great passion and conviction. Squash is an exciting and dynamic sport that has a long and proud heritage in this country, with British women leading the way in world rankings. However, the decision to add any new sport to the Olympic programme is a matter for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to consider, and national Governments cannot lobby for particular sports due to the IOC's charter. The relevant national governing body of a sport can make its case, as squash has been doing through discussions with the British Olympic Association or the World Squash Federation. Although UK Sport does not currently fund squash directly, substantial investments from home nations' governing bodies and £8 million from Sport England have contributed to a wider financial package totalling about £49 million for squash-related activities. The pandemic presents challenges but vaccination efforts mean sport can return soon, presenting a strong case for innovative sports like squash to grace global stages. I encourage continued lobbying of the IOC and assure that squash remains healthy in this country with room for growth.
