Mo Farah urges against possible £120m cut to school sports in England

Athlete and sport bodies call for rethink after health and education departments each propose £60m funding cuts

Mo Farah and more than 70 leading UK sporting bodies have demanded the government rethink potential £120m cuts to school sports in England, after a clash between two departments over the funding.

The Guardian reported earlier this year that the Department of Health and Social Care had intended to cut its entire £60m contribution to school sports, though ministers have since said they intend to rethink the level of cuts.
