OPPOSITION DAY (11th allotted day–second part)
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House congratulates the British team on its superb results in Beijing, which should provide an excellent platform
for its performance in London 2012; notes with concern however the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee Report of 23rd
April 2008, which highlighted the inadequate preparations for an Olympic sporting legacy from London 2012; is disappointed
with the Government’s legacy action plan which is largely a restatement of existing commitments; notes that the London Olympic
Games will be the biggest sporting event in the history of the UK; and calls upon the Government to ensure that the UK lives
up to the promise made in July 2005 in Singapore that the London 2012 Olympic Games will be used to leave a lasting sporting
legacy.
|
|
|
As an Amendment to Mr David Cameron’s proposed Motion (Olympic legacy):
|
|
|
| |
Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘applauds the British Olympic and Paralympic teams for their superb performance in
Beijing which should provide an excellent platform for their performance in London 2012; recognises that the increase in public
funding for elite programmes has helped contribute to this success; notes that a decade of sustained investment at every level
of sport–school, community and elite–has laid the strongest possible foundations for this Olympic period; welcomes the recent
School Sport Survey which shows that 90 per cent. of children are doing two hours of sport a week; further welcomes the reform
of Sport England that will build a world-class sport development system; and endorses the Government’s Legacy Action Plan,
including measures that will make a reality of the promise made in Singapore in 2005 to make two million people more active
by 2012.’.
|
|
|
The selection of the matter to be debated this day has been made by the Leader of the Opposition (Standing Order No. 14(2)).
|
|
Proceedings on the Motion in the name of Mr David Cameron may continue for three hours or until 4.00 p.m., whichever is later,
and proceedings shall then lapse if not previously concluded (Order of 27th October).
