Motion Text

That this House notes the retirement of Alistair Hignell as BBC Rugby Correspondent from Radio 5 Live, highlighted by the fulsome praise given him by Lawrence Dallaglio at his own retirement from rugby; celebrates his achievements in this role over many years; remembers his success as an England international and his many years playing for Bristol at rugby and Gloucestershire at cricket following his double blue at Cambridge University; and wishes him every success in his continuing battle against multiple sclerosis.
