BRITISH OLYMPIC FOOTBALL TEAMS

Early day motion 168, tabled 17 July 2001 by Lord Stratford (Labour). Signed by 12 members.

That this House supports the idea of British football teams for men and women being entered in the Olympic Games; hopes that discussions will be held between the British Olympic Association and the four home football associations in order that this might be achieved in time for the 2004 Athens Olympics; and takes comfort from the assurances given by Sepp Blatter, the President of FIFA, that British football teams in the Olympics will not affect the position of the four home countries in FIFA.

Signatures by party: Labour 11, Liberal Democrat 1.
