Royal Mail Commemorative Stamps And European Nations Cup
EDM number 668 in 1995-96, proposed by William McKelvey on 27/03/1996.
That this House notes the poll conducted by the Royal Mail through the Times newspaper to select five footballing greats to be commemorated on stamps; further notes that the choice of the Times newspaper effectively disenfranchised the majority of Scottish football fans; deplores the omission from the final five greats chosen of Scottish greats such as Jimmy McGrory, Willie Waddell and Alex James; questions the authenticity of commemorative stamps which fail to remember the contribution of Scottish players when the stamps are supposed to mark a tournament for which Scotland qualified and England did not; and calls upon the Royal Mail to rectify this omission before the tournament begins.
This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
