Proceeding contribution from Lord Moynihan (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 July 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Localism Bill.

Localism Bill

I am grateful to my noble friend for raising that. Very briefly, a classic example of this are the national sport centres, which initially were set up to focus on excellence in sport and did so for many decades but which increasingly have come to serve the local community through community use and Sport for All. These are surely very good examples of where you can be far more aligned to local authorities—if they are run by local authorities—working with local clubs and with local governing bodies while protecting high-performance sport.
