HC Deb 12 December 2001 vol 376 c895W
Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will introduce boxing into schools as a specialist part of the sports curriculum. [22078]

Mr. Ivan Lewis

The new National Curriculum for Physical Education, which was introduced in September 2000 specifies six areas of activity which schools should provide. Boxing is not one of those activities and there are no plans to introduce it.
