HC Deb 16 June 1988 vol 135 cc243-4W
Mr. Greg Knight

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress has been made on the Ten Events Initiative to highlight the ability of many top sportsmen and women with disabilities; and whether he intends to visit the Paralympics in Seoul.

Mr. Moynihan

Following the successful launch of the Ten Events Initiative with the slalom challenge during the British ski championships, I have completed the bowls event, participating in 100 ends in a day, and the first leg of the Milk Race. Sponsorship from these events will go towards helping to send a Great Britain squad to the Paralympics in Seoul. I shall be participating in several events this summer, including 100 holes of golf in a day, a Docklands decathlon and watersports events.
