Proceeding contribution from Lord Wilson of Sedgefield (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 November 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on School Sports Funding.


School Sports Funding

As I said earlier, I have received dozens of letters from children in my constituency who are concerned about those cuts. This is from Bradley Johnson, aged 10:"““Dear Mr Wilson…I am writing to ask Mr Gove to please change his mind on stopping the school sports partnership. Please I'll even beg him if I had to””." What has the world come to when young children desperate to play sport must beg the Government to do so?
