Amendments 27 and 29 are in the name of my noble friend Lord Moynihan. Again, my noble friend very strongly put the case for dual use, both by the community and through the provision of bursaries, to allow our most talented athletes to train in what are currently the best school facilities. I ask the Minister to think again about why the Government, rather than urging independent schools to do more in terms of community work and the provision of bursaries, are choosing to pull the rug. I hope he will say that he is going to think again on these issues.
