British Olympic And Paralympic Teams
EDM number 1602 in 2003-04, proposed by Andy Reed on 07/09/2004.
That this House congratulates the British Olympic Team on its magnificent performance in Athens; pays tribute to the hard work and achievement of all our competitors; reflects the national admiration for and pride in our 30 world-beating medal-winners; recognises the hard work of all those behind the scenes, including the coaching teams, UK Sport, Sport England and the British Olympic Association, along with the governing bodies of sport and other sports organisations; recognises the valuable contribution made by National Lottery funding to elite sport in the UK and stresses the need for that funding to be secure in the run up to the Beijing Olympics in 2008; calls for continued increases in funding to be provided at all levels of sport in the UK so that it can continue to build on its growing record of success; and wishes similar success and good fortune for the British Paralympic Team in the XII Paralympic Games to be held in Athens this month.
This motion has been signed by a total of 103 MPs.
