We're looking forward to the Westminster Hall debate on provision of playgrounds in local authorities later today, led by @TomHayesBmouth. In our manifesto, we backed the proposal from @PlayEngland and others to introduce legislation guaranteeing play sufficiency for every child, so all children can achieve 60 active minutes a day, of PE, sport and play. 🙌
