EDM Supported: 11th February, 2019

That this House notes, whilst welcoming the fall in the total number of rough sleepers in the UK, that rough sleeping remains a growing problem across many areas of the country; condemns the particularly prominent rises in the number of people sleeping rough in Coventry and across the wider West Midlands; and urges the Government to accelerate its plans to end rough sleeping, so that rough sleeping can be brought to an end within this Parliament.

That this House applauds British Canoeing for securing the staging of the Canoe Slalom World Cup in 2019 and the Canoe Slalom European Championships in 2020 at Lee Valley White Water Centre and celebrates the notable success of Team GB Canoeists in recent years; notes that more than 1.9 million paddlers in Britain have uncontested access to only 1,400 miles of inland water in England and Wales, which is less than 4 per cent of the total 41,000 miles of waterways that are more than 3 metres wide in Britain...

As you may remember, Madam Deputy Speaker, I warned the House during the Christmas Adjournment debate that the future of Keighley Cougars rugby league team was at stake. The team that first brought razzmatazz to rugby league was in danger of going under. However, the first good news that I can bring to the House is that Keighley Cougars are now back in safe hands, having been sold to Mick O’Neill and the consortium that first brought that razzmatazz with it 20 years ago.
