TURKEY V ENGLAND

Motion Text

That this House strongly endorses the pleas made by the FA, Mr Sven-Goran Eriksson and Mr David Beckham for fans not to travel to the Turkey v. England match in Istanbul on 11th October; believes that there would be no reasonable excuse for fans to travel if the match were available live on terrestrial television; and calls upon the relevant ministers to hold urgent discussions with BSkyB and the BBC to see if such an arrangement might be reached in the national interest.
