Proceeding contribution from Lord Addington (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 December 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.


Protection of Freedoms Bill

Perhaps I may come in here to clarify the matter. I was using sport as an example of where you get activity. The noble Lord has started to answer my concern but, although he has gone some of the way in his initial response, I do not think that he has totally embraced the position of control that can be taken on by a coach, even if that coach has a subservient role to the main coaching structure. For instance, if you are a potential shot-putter, you need a strength coach. You need someone to control your diet, your exercise and the way you sleep. I am trying to get at whether that degree of control is within an organisation. The noble Lord is starting to get there but I am just saying that, unless that degree of control in this one sector is addressed, he is going to miss out a lot of things in other sectors.
