Sir George Young
The hon. Gentleman has taken a consistent stand on this issue for many years and I applaud that, although I disagree with him. I think that he is rehearsing a speech that he might give later today in Westminster Hall. He will have heard, doubtless with dismay, that the right hon. Member for Coventry North East (Mr Ainsworth) was denounced by his party leader.

Four weeks ago, I submitted four written questions on the background analysis done before the decision was taken to end the funding for the school sport partnerships. On 29 November, I received a reply to all four questions stating,
“I will reply as soon as possible.”
Apparently, that time has still not yet come, so will the Leader of the House investigate why it is taking so long to answer such simple questions?
Sir George Young
“As soon as possible” will be before the House rises for the Christmas recess.
