Edward Morello

Liberal Democrat — West Dorset

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 March 2026

Debate

English Rugby

Contribution

I agree wholeheartedly and am sure that the Minister will take the opportunity to speak to that pledge. Most importantly, grassroots clubs are where the future of the sport begins. They are where the next England star first learnt to pass, make a tackle and score a try. Yet many grassroots clubs are struggling. Across the country are clubhouses that are outdated, that have unsuitable changing rooms and where facilities are not always appropriate for the women’s game. Often there are no women’s changing rooms at all.
