English Rfu And Television Rights

EDM number 985 in 1995-96, proposed by Peter Fry on 11/06/1996.

That this House is greatly concerned at the unilateral decision taken by the English Rugby Union to sell their television rights for broadcasting England's matches to BSkyB TV as this not only endangers the future of the Five Nations' Championship but will also deny the vast majority of rugby players and supporters who cannot obtain match tickets the opportunity to view games as they take place.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs.
