Is the issue with increasing the coverage of women’s sport, whether it is on digital platforms or mainstream media, simply financial? We have heard about restrictions as a result of the licence fee and the revenue that you get from advertising or from people buying online subscriptions. Is it the financial impact that is restricting you in covering more women’s sport, or are there any other problems in that area that your organisations face?

Louise Thornton mentioned digital platforms with regard to the diversity of women’s sport that is being covered. Do any other witnesses have ideas about how to increase the diversity of women’s sport that is covered?

Good morning. We have heard about what you are doing just now, but do you have targets for investing in the future of women’s sport and increasing coverage?

What are the difficulties for women from ethnic minority communities in participating and progressing in your sports?

Do any of the other panel members have anything to say?

How difficult is it for girls and women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to get into sport? I know that mountain biking and football can be expensive, but I would be happy to hear from any of the witnesses on this matter.

Good morning, panel members. What are the barriers to women from ethnic minority communities participating and progressing in your sports? I open it up to anyone to respond.

I have one more question.

How welcoming are sports to lesbian and bisexual women and what challenges do they face? That question is open to everyone.

I will ask Gemma Fay to talk about football.
