The Burns Report

EDM number 2890 in 2005-06, proposed by Don Foster on 31/10/2006.

That this House congratulates the Football Association Council on accepting the recommendations of the Burns Report; recognises the achievement of Chief Executive Brian Barwick in overseeing this process; notes the important role these implementations will play in increasing representation of the diverse interests in the game; acknowledges the increased trust and transparency that the appointment of an independent chairperson should create within the organisation; further recognises the importance of grass roots football gaining formal representation within the new structure; urges the Football Association (FA) shareholders to agree to the changes; and encourages the FA to implement the changes as swiftly and comprehensively as possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
