Diocesan Trusts are welcome to submit applications on behalf of schools under my Department's Sports Capital and Equipment Programme provided that they do so jointly with one or more sport clubs. A decision to apply on this basis is entirely a matter for the relevant school and Diocesan Trust; as Minister, I have no role in such a decision.
