I fully appreciate the Minister’s genuine commitment to helping sport wherever he can. He has urged me not to push my amendments to a vote, and I will not do that this evening because I hope that the House will at least bear in mind the arguments that I have made when we come to the next group, when I hope that colleagues from across the Chamber will seek to remove Clause 5 and protect the likes of Millfield and all independent schools that are putting their facilities to good use through bursaries, scholarships and community use of their sports facilities, which otherwise would be threatened by further cuts.
