Conservative — Old Bexley and Sidcup

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 November 2025

Debate

Women’s and Girls’ Sport: Greater Manchester

Contribution

I refer Members to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. Sport England’s role as a statutory planning consultee promotes participation in grassroot sports, including by girls and women, by protecting vital playing fields across the country from development, including in Greater Manchester. However, this Labour Government are aiming to bulldoze protections, and concrete over grassroots provisions for young people. How will removing the protections in place for playing fields help to improve participation by girls in grassroots sport?
