Sir Lindsay Hoyle

Speaker — Chorley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 February 2025

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

Let me just say, as I have been tempted into the conversation, that I have raised this matter with the Prime Minister, because there is a major injustice in the stigma attached to rugby league and the fact that not one player has ever been knighted. Given that Kevin Sinfield has raised millions for motor neurone disease charities, I should have thought that now is the time and we should wait no longer.
