My background is in sport. I work in sport. I declare my interest as a chair of Sport Wales; that was done through a public appointments procedure. I am sorry that the noble Lord, Lord Moynihan, is not in his place; he was here earlier. In 2017, I recommended that sport needed an ombudsman—an idea from several years before, which I stole from him. I recommended a very simple ombudsman to deal with matters of integrity and safeguarding. But one of the consistent messages I have had from several Governments is not that we do not need it—it is recognised that there are issues with safeguarding and integrity in sport—but that I could not predict the size and scale of that body and that it might grow.
