Labour — Barrow and Furness

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

The Leader of the House will know how proud I am of the Lionesses, particularly Georgia Stanway, who was born and raised in Barrow and Furness. This Government’s £220 million transformation fund has given us the opportunity to unlock Football Foundation match funding that could bring forward additional all-weather pitches, with one named for Georgia. Unfortunately, delays in Westmorland and Furness council could lead to us losing that match funding, with the deadline expiring on Sunday. Does the Leader of the House agree that the Lib Dem-run council should pull its finger out and get this delivered?
