That this House congratulates the achievement of the British Deaf Football Team in reaching the finals of the European Deaf Football Championships due to be held in Portugal from 10th to 23rd June 2007; recognises the struggle Great Britain Deaf Football has faced in raising funds to support the team, who may be unable to compete in this championship due to lack of funds; and calls for sponsorship of the team by national sporting bodies and other sponsors for this and future championships.
