“Will the Secretary of State tell us who she agrees with, her sports minister or the deputy First Minister, and will she make clear if she is planning to ban greyhound racing across the UK?.
The Culture Secretary has said the Government has “absolutely no plans” to ban greyhound racing, despite the Welsh Labour Government announcing their plan to do so.
Ms Nandy said: “Having been through the experience of my own club Wigan Athletic in administration in recent years, my heart absolutely goes out to him and every fan who are working together to try and save a social asset that means so much to people in the community, and I wish him every success.
Elsewhere in the session, Ms Nandy hit back at Kemi Badenoch’s criticism of an independent football regulator, saying she was “appalled” by the Tory leader’s assertion that it would be a “waste of money”.
Ms Nandy responded to Labour MP Yuan Yang (Earley and Woodley) who stressed the importance of establishing a regulator to secure the future of clubs such as Reading FC in her constituency, which has faced financial difficulties.
