Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Danny Beales and Lisa Nandy

Thursday 15th January 2026 Commons Chamber

[Lisa Nandy]

I point the hon. Gentleman to the fact that the Government have just announced £400 million for grassroots sporting facilities across the country. We are keen to make sure that we can build the homes that we need, and that those homes have good facilities, whether that is sporting facilities or cultural facilities, which people want, and I am working closely with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government to make sure that happens.

[Danny Beales (Uxbridge and South Ruislip) (Lab)]

T3. Wealdstone FC is a fantastic, fan-led club in my constituency, but it is again facing an uncertain future because of protracted negotiations over the lease of their current ground. Does the Minister agree that it is vital that the landowner engages in good faith with the club, and will she meet me to discuss how we can give the club the stability and security off the pitch that they need to succeed on it?
