MPs who wanted to get to the bottom of claims that British athletes are cheating the classification system will be snubbed by Paralympic officials today.

Classification underpins Paralympic sport as it is meant to ensure athletes compete against rivals with a similar level of impairment.

The Commons digital, culture, media and sport select committee is holding its second session on the matter at 2.30pm today, having heard from Baroness Grey-Thompson, Michael Breen and the British Paralympic Committee at the end of October.
