Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Education and Health.


Education and Health

In the spirit of an holistic approach to education and health, may I ask the Secretary of State to look at early-day motion 25, entitled "Fitness of Children", before the end of the debate, and may I ask whoever sums up the debate to reflect on it? It clearly states that children who walk or cycle to school are fitter than those who are driven in a car or school bus, but everything that the Secretary of State is proposing is literally driving children out of their communities into cars and buses to travel to schools at the other side of town.
