Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Gordon Banks (Labour). It was answered by Baroness Jowell (Labour) on Monday, 21 May 2007 on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.


UK School Games

Question
If she will make a statement on plans for the UK School Games.
Answer

In 2006, the UK School Games in Glasgow involved more than 1,000 young athletes, and saw 98 personal bests and four new records. This year’s event in Coventry has eight sports for 1,300 competitors—300 more than last year. They are young, talented athletes. Seventy volunteers will also be drawn from throughout the country. I am delighted that, this year, table tennis for disabled athletes will be one of the competitions.
