NAME OF UK OLYMPICS TEAM

Early day motion 954, tabled 3 November 2010 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 10 members.

That this House notes the excellent work being doneacross the UK by thousands of volunteers in preparation for the London 2012 Olympic Games; further notes the continuing issue of the name of the team from this country which has the title of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team; recognises that this is frequently shortened to Team GB; welcomes the fact that the Mayor of London has recently concurred with the sensible consensus which is emerging that the team should be more succinctly re-named as Team UK; and expresses the hope that this will be acted on by the relevant sporting authorities in time for the Olympic celebrations.

Signatures by party: DUP 5, Labour 2, Conservative 1, Independent 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
