Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Baroness Merron (Labour), on Wednesday, 1 April 1998, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 194 members in total.


FOOTBALL SPONSORSHIP LEVY BILL

That this House welcomes the introduction of the Football Sponsorship Levy Bill on 7th April 1998 which will enable the growing financial divide in football to be addressed; recognises the vital part that smaller league clubs play in their communities, and their massive contribution in nurturing and developing talented players who are tomorrow's potential stars; and notes that the smaller clubs serve millions of people in hundreds of constituencies and the redistribution of broadcasting income would help to support these clubs, and their fans, and ensure that a proportion of football wealth is invested for the future.
