Labour — Chesterfield

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 October 2024

Debate

Sport: Team GB and ParalympicsGB

Contribution

The hon. Member is talking about the post-London Olympics legacy. One legacy is that the amount of physical education taught in in schools went down by 45,000 hours under his Government, and the gap between the number of state schools and independent schools doing team sports rocketed. Is the real legacy of his Government not that school sport was massively diminished, and should he not actually be apologising for their record in that regard?
