Labour Members welcome the Prime Minister’s rethink about scrapping school sport partnerships.

We will make a statement in due course about the allocation of resources to local authorities. As I said earlier, we will be delivering school sports in a different way from the previous Government, and we will announce how we will spend the money we have allocated for school sport in due course.
