English National Anthem

EDM number 239 in 2003-04, proposed by Greg Pope on 09/12/2003.

That this House notes that at international sporting events such as football and rugby, Scotland has 'Flower of Scotland' played as its national anthem; further notes that Wales has 'Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau' (Land of my Fathers') played as its national anthem; is disappointed to note that England has 'God Save the Queen' played; believes that 'God Save the Queen' is appropriate as the national anthem for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland but is not appropriate as the national anthem of England alone; further believes that England should have its own national anthem for sporting events; and tentatively suggests that it should be 'Jerusalem'.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
