My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary has received a number of representations from Mr. Nottingham, including via his MP, about his taking chess to the townships, initiative. Most recently, my noble Friend the Minister for Africa and the UN, Baroness Kinnock, wrote on 19 November 2009 to reiterate that while the Foreign and Commonwealth Office wished Mr. Nottingham well with his initiative, it could not provide any support for it.
