Discrimination in Sport

Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Wright (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 June 2019. It occurred during Opposition day on Discrimination in Sport.

I certainly do agree. It is important for more women’s sport to be broadcast. I think that we are taking steps in the right direction. The England-Scotland football match—I am sorry to remind the hon. Member for Livingston (Hannah Bardell) of it; I will not mention the result—was watched by about 10% of our population. It is important for us to get the message across to broadcasters not just that broadcasting women’s sport is the right thing to do but that, if they broadcast it, people will watch it.
