I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for giving details of national achievements and the national picture. As he and other colleagues know, I have been pushing for Staffordshire, and especially Stoke-on-Trent, to benefit from being an Olympic training venue. How will TASS and other such schemes benefit athletes and potential athletes for the Olympics in my area?

Having called almost three years ago for London to make a bid for the 2012 Olympics, I thank the Minister for his work. Everyone else seems to have been mentioned, but not the Minister for Sport and Tourism. The point of getting the Olympics in London is to inspire young people to participate in sport. Is the right hon. Gentleman satisfied that we have the number of coaches that we need to train our young athletes and young sportsmen? Does he agree that, in the next five to seven years, we have a great opportunity to train more coaches and ensure that they have the right professional qualifications?

Absolutely. The hon. Gentleman knows that we had a taskforce on coaching. When I came into the job four years ago, the position of coaching was deplorable. I am pleased that all the governing bodies have come together and that the coaching taskforce's recommendations have been implemented. We have five levels of coaching certificate, which Sports Coach UK is policing. We will provide 3,000 community coaches—I believe that 300 or 400 are already in place. Coupled with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State's announcement earlier this year about providing competition managers for each school sports partnership, we are building a sustainable sports infrastructure for this country. It will mean not only many more people playing much more sport but bringing through talent, not in an arbitrary but a managed way, so that potential can be realised, with our athletes standing on the podiums in 2012 in London.

I shall be parochial. TASS for 18 to 25-year-olds applies in the west midlands. The right hon. Member for Maidenhead (Mrs. May) asked about Paralympians. The age for the higher level has moved to 35. Fifty-seven TASS bursaries and seven 2012 scholarships are available in the west midlands. In Stoke-on-Trent specifically, four TASS bursaries and two 2012 scholarships are available.

The talented athlete scholarship scheme—TASS—which was launched last August, provides funding for our talented young athletes in further and higher education and employment. More than 1,100 athletes participated in the first year of the scheme. The 2012 scholarship is one strand of TASS. It was launched this year and is designed to fast-track our most talented young people between the ages of 12 and 18 into the world class performance programme. There are currently 120 people on the 2012 scholarship. There is already strong evidence to show that TASS is starting to pay dividends. Indeed, our young people are winning medals in international competition.
