Early day motion 1285, tabled 9 April 2014 by John Leech (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 1 member.

That this House notes Early Day Motion 1242 in the name of the hon. Member for Bradford West and its criticism of football clubs in the Premier League failing to properly invest in grassroots football; regrets the contrast made in the Early Day Motion on spending on grassroots football and the wages bill of Manchester City, and the implication that Manchester City has failed to invest in the grassroots game; and recognises that Manchester City's award-winning City in the Community programme has been running since 1986 with a team of 50 full-time and part-time staff running projects around sport, health, young people and skills and enterprise whilst engaging with over 200,000 people of all ages across all communities in Manchester, Tameside and Stockport every year.
