A to help fund community facilities and deal with gambling addiction is amongst proposals by Labour in a "long-lasting innovative prepare for sport".

Transfer to press Premier League clubs to contribute more to grassroots football are also being considered.

Shadow culture secretary Harriet Harman said the Olympic "legacy" of increased participation had actually failed to materialise after London 2012.

And she said "strong government management" was required to attain it.

Ms Harman will also think about bring back a requirement that school students do a minimum of 2 hours of sport a week, which was gotten rid of by the coalition as part of education reforms.

Pressure on clubs

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

At present, sports betting firms face a levy on horseracing profits - which raised ₤ 82m in 2015 - and Labour is thinking about extending the levy to cover all sports betting and include bets positioned online.

While the Premier League likewise introduced a voluntary 5% levy on tv earnings for the grassroots video game, the celebration thinks the method that amount is calculated implies it is frequently less that it might be.

The assessment is taking a look at increasing transparency into how sums are determined and checking out measures that would push the country's wealthiest football clubs into appropriately meeting their promise.

The plans being thought about also consist of:

New targets for female involvement in sport

Increasing the number of females on the boards of sporting organisations

Ms Harman stated: "We were all happy to host the Olympics and Paralympic Games in London two years ago, but instead of seeing increased involvement things have become worse, particularly among young people, as an outcome of the federal government axing school sports betting partnerships."

She included: "Our consultation takes a look at a number of ideas which aim to enhance investment in community and grassroots sports betting by quarreling the Premier League and wagering business, bringing back 2 hours of sport at schools a week and motivating more people to take part - ladies as well as kids.

"We need strong federal government leadership to create a long-term innovative prepare for sport and that is what this assessment looks for to do."
