Lord Kirkhope of Harrogate (Con)
My Lords, while I welcome the initiatives the Government take to support sport, and support the Question from my noble friend, will the Minister comment on sponsorship? We are always welcoming financial involvement by organisations, commercial and otherwise, but there is concern that some of the sponsors in sport nowadays are putting forward messages that are not necessarily in line with a positive attitude in bringing on young people, in particular, in sports.
Lord Kamall (Con)
My noble friend raises a very important point. I am not sure of the exact details, so I will have to take that back to the department and write to him.
