That this House notes the decision of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Association to award equal prize money in the Gentlemen's and Ladies' tournaments; recognises that in 2006 Wimbledon was the only Grand Slam tennis tournament not to award male and female champions the same prize money; welcomes the equal position male and female tennis players will hold at the Championship this summer; urges all sporting organisations to strive for gender equality; and deplores the continuation of all forms of gender discrimination.
