Women And Sport

EDM number 252 in 2003-04, proposed by Vera Baird on 10/12/2003.

That this House notes with concern that only five per cent. of all sports coverage in the media is about sportswomen, even though it is clear that there is a key role to be played by the media in raising the public profile of women's sport, highlighting role models and encouraging participation; welcomes the efforts of the Women's Sports Foundation, in its 'Campaign for Coverage', in raising this issue; and calls on the Government to ensure, at this important time for public service broadcasting and as concerns increase about obesity and unhealthy lifestyles, that the media are aware of the reasons for increasing both the quantity and quality of their reporting of women's sport.

This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs.
