Sport wagering levy among 'innovative' Labour sport plans

24 July 2014

A betting levy to assist fund neighborhood facilities and deal with gambling dependency is among proposals by Labour in a "long-lasting innovative strategy for sport".

Moves to push Premier League clubs to contribute more to grassroots football are also being thought about.

She added: "Our consultation looks at a variety of concepts which aim to increase financial investment in neighborhood and grassroots sports by quarreling the yohaig code Premier League and wagering companies, reviving 2 hours of sport at schools a week and encouraging more people to participate - ladies in addition to boys.

"We require strong government management to create a long-term ingenious prepare for sport which is what this promotion code consultation looks for to do."

Clive Efford, Labour's shadow sport minister, added: "If we are going to get more individuals active then we need to empower the people who do the majority of the operate in our communities to have more impact over how we plan, organise and deliver sport and athletics at regional level."
