FOOTBALL SUBSTITUTIONS FOR BLOOD INJURIES

Early day motion 1610, tabled 9 February 2006 by Eric Martlew (Labour). Signed by 43 members.

That this House supports the initiative by Doctor John Haworth, club doctor to Carlisle United FC, to persuade the Football Association to accept temporary substitutions of players to allow the treatment of open wounds, similar to the successful blood bin scheme introduced some years ago in the Rugby Football League; and urges the Football Association to accept this policy which is supported by the Professional Footballers' Association on the grounds of health and duty of care.

Signatures by party: Labour 31, Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 4, Conservative 2, Scottish National Party 1.
