Prize Money For Women At Wimbledon Tennis Championships

EDM number 2442 in 2005-06, proposed by Daniel Kawczynski on 26/06/2006.

That this House deplores the failure of the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to award women players at Wimbledon the same prize money as men; finds this inequality deplorable at a time when equal pay is an accepted principle in all other areas; expects the LTA to bring forward proposals for equal pay in time for the championships in 2007; and believes that any failure to do this should result in referral of the matter to the Commission for Equality and Human Rights.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
