Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Robin Walker and David Evennett

Thursday 9th June 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Robin Walker (Worcester) (Con)]

After the huge success of the London Paralympics, we all saw how Paralympic sport can inspire. Will the Secretary of State join me in congratulating my six Worcester constituents, who have been selected to represent ParalympicsGB in the wheelchair basketball at the Rio Paralympics?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Mr David Evennett)]

I should be absolutely delighted to do so. I think it is very important that we wish all our athletes great success in Rio. The Paralympics are just as important as the Olympics and we wish them all success in their ventures.
