WEMBLEY STADIUM

Early day motion 1, tabled 6 December 2000 by Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 28 members.

That this House, noting that the cost of the proposed new Wembley Stadium has soared to ú660 million before work has even commenced, that 30 major international banks have all refused to fund the project, and that England will not be hosting the football World Cup until 2014 at the earliest, calls on the Government to intervene with a view to all involved being required to re-consider whether building a new stadium at Wembley is in the national interest.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, Liberal Democrat 13, Conservative 1, Labour/Co-operative 1.
