WELSH NATIONAL ANTHEM

Early day motion 1266, tabled 20 May 2003 by Lord Brennan of Canton (Labour). Signed by 22 members.

That this House deplores the decision of the English Football Association to ban the playing of the Welsh National Anthem Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau at the 2nd Division play off final between Cardiff City and Queens Park Rangers at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff as an insensitive snub to Welsh football fans; further calls on all fans present to respect both the playing of God Save the Queen and the unaccompanied rendition of Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau which will be necessitated by the FA's decision.

Signatures by party: Labour 11, Liberal Democrat 5, Conservative 3, Plaid Cymru 2, Labour/Co-operative 1.
