FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION'S RESPECT AGENDA AND VIOLENT CONDUCT

Early day motion 141, tabled 4 December 2008 by Eric Illsley (Labour). Signed by 17 members.

That this House views with astonishment the decision by the Football Association to take no further action against the Sheffield United player Chris Morgan following an incident during Barnsley's match against Sheffield United on 8 November 2008 which resulted in the admission of Barnsley player Iain Hume to a hospital intensive care unit suffering from a fractured skull and bleeding to the brain; and calls on the Football Association to review this decision and either to take action against what can only be described as violent conduct or to abandon once and for all its so-called Respect Agenda in view of the lack of protection given to Iain Hume and the complete failure of football's governing body to deal properly with this issue.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, Liberal Democrat 3, DUP 1.
