DUNDEE FC POINTS DEDUCTION

Early day motion 933, tabled 1 November 2010 by Jim McGovern (Labour). Signed by 24 members.

That this House supports Dundee Football Club during its time of financial difficulty; hopes that the Scottish Football League may reconsider its decision to deduct 25 points from the team; recognises that the financial problems faced by Dundee FC are similar to problems faced by companies across Scotland and the UK, and punishments such as these are only likely to cause further harm; and asks the UK Government and the Scottish Executive to look sympathetically on historic community organisations such as 117-year old Dundee FC.

Signatures by party: Labour 20, DUP 2, Liberal Democrat 2.
