UK OLYMPIC FOOTBALL TEAM

Early day motion 2496, tabled 12 November 2008 by Jim Sheridan (Labour). Signed by 43 members.

That this House welcomes the assurances given by FIFA that a 2012 Olympics UK football team would not undermine any of the home countries' ability to compete in their own right in future events; and further notes that football should not be any different from other competing sports and our young talent should be allowed to show their skills on the world stage.

Signatures by party: Labour 37, Liberal Democrat 4, Conservative 2.
