FIFA ETHICS COMMITTEE REPORT INTO WORLD CUP BIDDING PROCESS

Early day motion 637, tabled 16 December 2014 by Clive Betts (Labour). Signed by 34 members.

That this House questions the findings of the FIFA Ethics Committee report into World Cup bidding; notes the objections to the report made by the chair of the investigation, Michael Garcia; expresses deep concerns at the failure to publish Michael Garcia's report in full; calls for this report and all related evidence to be published in full as a matter of urgency; further calls for the publication of the details of all those who refused to co-operate with Michael Garcia's investigation in full or in part; welcomes the decision to refer the matter to the Swiss prosecution authorities and calls for similar referrals to be made to all relevant national enforcement agencies; and believes that unless these actions are taken there will not merely be reputational damage but also potentially damage to the financial viability of FIFA and the international game.

Signatures by party: Labour 18, Liberal Democrat 6, Conservative 5, Independent 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Respect 1, Scottish National Party 1.
