Church Attendance In Aston (EDM458)

Church Attendance In Aston

EDM number 458 in 1998-99, proposed by Gerald Howarth on 19/03/1999.

That this House salutes the action of the Reverend Keith Sinclair in arranging for the church bells of Aston to toll from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday 21st March in protest at the attempt by Sky Televison to re-arrange the timing of the Aston Villa football match to coincide with church services to the inconvenience of churchgoers; and expresses its alarm at the way in which Sky Television seeks to buy up television sports coverage and arrange the timing of fixtures to suit its own commercial purposes.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
