HC Deb 23 June 1988 vol 135 c636W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science, pursuant to his answers of 14 and 16 June to the hon. Member for Wakefield, if he will give the reasons why he will not take steps to encourage the greater availability of rugby league as part of the content of physical education courses at teacher training colleges.

Mrs. Rumbold

My right hon. Friend considers that the precise range of sports included within courses of physical education at initial teacher training institutions is a matter for the institutions themselves.
