Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

We are not just talking about traditional sport; indeed, we should move away from traditional sport. Fewer girls participate in sport than boys. Partly, that has been due to a historical tendency to play sports that girls do not want to engage in. Therefore, we should be doing far more dance in schools than we have done in the past. There is so much work that needs to be done in this. It is a tragedy that we are so far behind the curve of the Chief Medical Officer’s recommendations to this country that it is a crisis. It is a crisis that needs to be addressed, and it is not a party-political point.
