Sport betting levy amongst 'ingenious' Labour sport prepares

24 July 2014

A betting levy to assist fund community facilities and deal with gambling addiction is amongst proposals by Labour in a "long-term ingenious plan for sport".

Transfer to push Premier League clubs to contribute more to grassroots football are likewise being thought about.

Shadow culture secretary Harriet Harman said the Olympic "legacy" of increased involvement had stopped working to materialise after London 2012.

And she said "strong government leadership" was needed to achieve it.

Ms Harman will also think about restoring a requirement that school pupils do at least 2 hours of sport a week, which was gotten rid of by the coalition as part of education reforms.

Pressure on clubs

The proposals belong to Labour's More Sport for All assessment.

At present, betting companies deal with a levy on horseracing profits - which raised ₤ 82m in 2015 - and Labour is considering extending the levy to cover all sports and include bets placed online.

While the Premier League also introduced a voluntary 5% levy on television earnings for the grassroots game, the yohaig code celebration believes the method that amount is determined suggests it is often less that it could be.

The consultation is taking a look at increasing transparency into how amounts are computed and checking out procedures that would pressure the nation's richest football clubs into appropriately satisfying their guarantee.

The plans being considered also consist of:

New targets for female involvement in sport

Increasing the number of ladies on the boards of sporting organisations

Ms Harman stated: "We were all happy to host the Olympics and Paralympic Games in London two years back, however rather of seeing increased participation things have actually worsened, specifically among young people, as a result of the government axing school sports collaborations."

She included: "Our assessment looks at a number of concepts which intend to enhance financial investment in neighborhood and grassroots sports by quarreling the Premier League and betting companies, restoring 2 hours of sport at schools a week and encouraging more people to participate - ladies as well as young boys.

"We need strong government leadership to produce a long-term innovative prepare for sport which is what this promotion code consultation seeks to do."

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