I am sorry that neither the hon. I hope that the Government's policies on sport will help them to do so in future. The right hon. Member for South Norfolk said that the NLCB offers grants for one year only. That is not right.
Grants can be time-limited, and some are for two or three years.
The NLCB will consider a maximum extension of up to six years. We support the Bill in principle, and the Government sympathise with the concerns expressed given what has happened. Gentleman will want to take up the technical suggestions that he has made when the Bill goes into Committee. Members have seen the lottery make in their communities. I am grateful to him for supporting the Bill.
