Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 November 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on School Sports Funding.
School Sports Funding
I could not agree more, and that is the basis of a good sports policy—not competition on its own, but coaching and competition together. In my quest to educate the Education Secretary about sport, I want him to take two simple messages away from today's debate. First, not everyone can play for the first team or even the second team, as he may remember from his own school days. Secondly, a proper sports policy cannot be based on competition alone; it must be supported by coaching. A policy based on competition alone is a policy for the few, not the many.
