Business of the House

Contribution

Last week, I had the pleasure of holding a chess tournament at the Royal School Wolverhampton in my constituency, bringing together primary and secondary school pupils to socialise and compete for individual and team medals. I even managed to play a couple of games myself. Chess is invaluable to young people, helping them to develop intellectual and emotional skills such as problem-solving, resilience, patience and concentration. Will the Leader of the House join me in commending the outstanding work of the Chess in Schools and Communities charity—without which the event would not have been possible—and the Royal School for hosting the event, and will he please ask the Secretary of State for Education to advise us on when the funds earmarked to develop chess in schools will be made available via a tender?
