I am sure that the scheme will prove popular. We want to get it right and working properly. The first 140 co-ordinators were appointed last September, and the second round was announced in February. The initiative will not involve just one sports co-ordinator for one school, but will establish partnerships, especially with sports clubs in the area, with local authority sports development officers and with the governing bodies of sport. It has been terrifically useful that many of the governing bodies have got involved and have worked with us closely.
Friend is interested in.
We can make this happen if people work together and do not go off and do their own thing, as in the past. That is the beauty and importance of this new arrangement for school sports co-ordinators. The Minister may remember that a few months ago I handed a petition to the Secretary of State on behalf of Fakenham high school and the community of Fakenham in support of a new sports complex. Gentleman would not expect me to give my full support now, as I do not have the details to hand. I promise him that I shall look into the matter and write to him about that project.
