A sports betting levy to assist fund community facilities and deal with sports betting dependency is among propositions by Labour in a "long-lasting innovative prepare for sport".

Moves to press Premier League clubs to contribute more to grassroots football are likewise being considered.

Shadow culture secretary Harriet Harman stated the Olympic "tradition" of increased involvement had stopped working to materialise after London 2012.

And she stated "strong federal government management" was needed to achieve it.

Ms Harman will also think about restoring a requirement that school students do at least two hours of sport a week, which was removed by the union as part of education reforms.

Pressure on clubs

The proposals are part of Labour's More Sport for All assessment.

At present, wagering firms deal with a levy on horseracing earnings - which raised ₤ 82m last year - and Labour is considering extending the levy to cover all sports betting and include bets positioned online.

While the Premier League also presented a voluntary 5% levy on tv earnings for the grassroots video game, the celebration thinks the method that sum is determined means it is often less that it might be.

The assessment is looking at increasing openness into how sums are calculated and exploring procedures that would press the nation's richest football clubs into correctly satisfying their pledge.

The strategies being considered likewise include:

New targets for female involvement in sport

Increasing the variety of females on the boards of sporting organisations

Ms Harman said: "We were all happy to host the Olympics and Paralympic Games in London two years earlier, however instead of seeing increased participation things have worsened, especially among youths, as an outcome of the federal government axing school sports betting collaborations."

She added: "Our consultation looks at a number of concepts which aim to increase investment in neighborhood and grassroots sports betting by quarreling the Premier League and sports betting business, reviving two hours of sport at schools a week and motivating more individuals to participate - girls as well as young boys.

"We require strong federal government leadership to develop a long-term ingenious plan for sport which is what this looks for to do."

Clive Efford, Labour's shadow sport minister, included: "If we are going to get more individuals active then we have to empower individuals who do the majority of the work in our neighborhoods to have more influence over how we plan, arrange and deliver sport and athletics at regional level."
