Live Television Coverage Of International Football
EDM number 1189 in 2008-09, proposed by Gregory Campbell on 25/03/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Broadcasting and Sports.
That this House notes the controversy surrounding attempts to have a British football team entered for the Olympics in 2012; also notes Government support for such a venture; and expresses the wish that the Government will use whatever influence it has to ensure that television broadcasters, particularly national BBC and ITV, concentrate on delivering live coverage to national audiences of competitive games in World Cup and European Championship qualifying competitions involving international teams from across the UK rather than meaningless friendly games involving England.
This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
