Motion Text

That this House notes the considerable increase in fees faced by many sports and community clubs as a result of the Licensing Act 2003; recalls that the Central Council for Physical Recreation concluded that these new fees were `set to devastate grassroots sport'; and urges the Government to uphold the Prime Minister's recent commitment to ensure that sports and community clubs are not disproportionately affected.
