REINSTATEMENT OF HOME CHAMPIONSHIPS

Early day motion 782, tabled 24 February 2005 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 23 members.

That this House recognises the love of football that exists across the United Kingdom; acknowledges the intense interest there is among football fans in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the current World Cup qualifying campaign; and therefore calls on the four Football Associations in the UK seriously to consider reinstating the Home Championships, which were last held in 1984, with Northern Ireland being the current holders.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, DUP 4, Liberal Democrat 2, UUP 2, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
