HL Deb 25 May 1999 vol 601 c78WA
Lord Hardinge of Penshurst

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they propose to introduce legislation implementing their intention to recognise chess (along with other mind games) as a sport, as announced in the House of Commons on 15 March (HC Deb., col. 862) [HL2508]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

A date for this has yet to be decided. We will seek to introduce a Bill when parliamentary time allows.
