What discussions has the Minister held with the FAW or other sporting bodies about the participation of a Team GB women's football side at future Olympic Games?

This is a matter for the FAW and the other UK Football Associations. I understand the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish Associations are generally opposed to the idea of GB football teams at future Olympics because it could potentially threaten their independence in the international game.
