The British Olympic Association (BOA) today welcomed Hugh Robertson, the Minister for Sport and Olympics, to its headquarters for a keynote address on the future of British sport.
Making his first major speech since taking office, the Minister outlined his vision for a series of structural changes and reforms designed to create a stronger system for sport across Britain.
He made his speech to representatives from the National Governing Bodies of Olympic sports and the Olympic Movement, in the presence of Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, President of the BOA.
“We greatly appreciate the Minister taking time to join members of our Olympic sports at today’s meeting and present his vision to reform sport in the UK. We share his ambition to deliver a lasting legacy from the 2012 Games, so it was appropriate that his plans should be announced here at the British Olympic Association, the home of Olympic and Paralympic sport. We are pleased to have the opportunity to work closely with the Minister in developing an even stronger system for sport in our nation, and expanding opportunities for participation in sport for athletes of every age and level of ability.” Colin Moynihan, Chairman of the BOA
