The new Minister for Sport and Olympics, Hugh Robertson MP, today set out his three key priorities.

“I’m delighted to have been appointed as Sport and Olympics Minister, a job I have shadowed for the past five years. With the World Cup bid well underway and the Olympics on the horizon, it’s an incredibly exciting time to get this job.
“I have three very clear priorities; to do everything in my power to win the World Cup bid, help to deliver a successful 2012 Olympics and through that drive a sporting legacy. I can’t wait to get started.”
