Categorised under the topics of Sports and Voluntary organisations.

That this House commends the outstanding contribution made by volunteer Games Makers during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games; pays tribute to the 70,000 volunteers, from all walks of life, who worked a total of eight million hours to ensure the Games ran seamlessly; believes that because of their immense contribution the Games Makers should be made Team of the Year in this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year; and suggests that, if necessary, a new category be created to accommodate the Games Makers as an appropriate recognition of their fantastic contribution.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
