Prize Money For Women At Wimbledon Tennis Championships (EDM962)

Prize Money For Women At Wimbledon Tennis Championships

EDM number 962 in 2006-07, proposed by Don Foster on 22/02/2007.

That this House notes the decision of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Association to award equal prize money in the Gentlemen's and Ladies' tournaments; recognises that in 2006 Wimbledon was the only Grand Slam tennis tournament not to award male and female champions the same prize money; welcomes the equal position male and female tennis players will hold at the Championship this summer; urges all sporting organisations to strive for gender equality; and deplores the continuation of all forms of gender discrimination.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
