Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 July 2025

Debate

Casement Park: Spending Review

Contribution

My Lords, my officials told me to say, “Let’s go, Giants”, so for them, at the end of term, I say, “Let’s go, Giants”. The noble Baroness is absolutely right. My good friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, when he met his hero Pat Jennings on Thursday, said: “Sport has this extraordinary capacity to bring people together to give joy and to unite people and it can’t be something that divides us”. Belfast Giants have gone out of their way to make sure that they are cross-community and work genuinely for sport, through sport. That is exactly what we should deliver, not just in Northern Ireland but across the country.
