Westminster Hall

7 juillet 2026

Westminster Hall MPs debate the future of British racing, focusing on Kempton Park’s planning threat, the sport’s economic model and dependence on the levy, and regulatory pressures from gambling and taxation. Shadow and Government front benches set out their positions on Kempton, levy reform, affordability checks and welfare before the motion is agreed.

Intervenant 1

Order, order. Lincoln Jopp to move the motion.

Intervenant 4

I beg to move that this House has considered the future of British horse racing. And it's an absolute pleasure to serve under your chairmanship. And I'm very grateful to honorable members for being here for this debate. I am going to be very generous with intervention time and all of that. But I would just hope that honorable members could for the next, I think it's 45 seconds, just bear with me and not intervene.

Honorable members will see why. The final open ditch is fence number 14. Il Est Francais by about a length and a half. Jukebox Man in second now being pushed along by Jango Baie in third. They're bunching up towards the fourth from home and it's Il Est Francais.

He's now joined by the Jukebox Man on his outside. Jango Baie right there in close third. Jilo now makes a big move around the outside and is now in fourth, just covered up when Gaelic Warrior and Bambridge, Master Chewy on the inside, Factfile on the outside. Still no more than four lengths splits this star-studded field of eight as they make their turn for home. Three fences to go in this Ladbrokes King George and it's now Jango Baie on the outside with the Jukebox Man and Jilo is right there with Gaelic Warrior on the inside.
