HC Deb 02 March 1995 vol 255 c648W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what proposals she has to discourage participation in boxing in schools and draw attention to the risks of long-term injury.

Mr. Forth

Boxing is not a part of the compulsory school curriculum and there are no plans to make it so. The revised national curriculum for physical education requires that proper regard is given to safety in all physical activity.
