Labour — Wolverhampton North East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 June 2025

Debate

Water Safety Education

Contribution

Austerity hit access to swimming lessons, as evidenced by the fact that 35% of children from low-income families are able to swim 25 metres unaided compared with 82% from affluent families. Does my hon. Friend agree with me that mandatory requirements for swimming and water safety should be in the national curriculum for all primary schools?
