SCHOOLCHILDREN FOR CHILDREN

Early day motion 2535, tabled 19 November 2008 by Mark Williams (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 29 members.

That this House congratulates the work of the charity Schoolchildren for Children which both assists with the development of extra-curricular sporting activities at schools in the UK and provides books and other school equipment in some of the poorest countries in the world; recognises the importance of children having access to sporting activities outside of school hours; notes the recent success of athletes from across the UK at the Olympics which has created an even stronger interest in children wanting to take up sport; and wishes the charity well in its dual role of supporting sporting activity for UK children and improving the provision of education in the developing world.

Signatures by party: Labour 15, Liberal Democrat 12, Conservative 1, Independent 1.
