LOCATION OF THE NATIONAL ATHLETICS STADIUM

Early day motion 279, tabled 17 January 2000 by Lord Brady of Altrincham (Conservative). Signed by 15 members.

That this House notes the complete failure of the proposed National Athletics Stadium at Wembley; notes that the Commonwealth Stadium in Manchester could be altered at relatively little cost to meet the specifications for a national stadium; urges the Government to give full consideration to any bid by Manchester to host the National Stadium; and believes such consideration would demonstrate the Government's commitment to the regions outside London.

Signatures by party: Conservative 5, Liberal Democrat 5, Labour 4, UUP 1.
