Labour — Dudley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Women’s Sport: Community Green Spaces

Contribution

Dudley is home to outstanding female sporting talent, including boxer Kirstie Bavington and karate rising star Jess Wyman. Both have spoken to me about the lack of training facilities, financial support and a clear pathway to elite sport for young females. What action is the Secretary of State taking to ensure that female athletes receive the right support to fulfil their potential, and will she meet them?
