That this House welcomes the decision by the Rugby Football League to bid for the 2013 Rugby League World Cup; recognises that participation levels in rugby league are increasing both in the United Kingdom and abroad; notes the benefits of bringing the Rugby League World Cup to the UK which will help attract more people to the sport, both in terms of participation at grass roots level, as well as spectators, in addition to embracing the truly international appeal of rugby league; and calls on the Government to support the Rugby Football League in order to help ensure the bid is successful to bring the 2013 World Cup to the United Kingdom.

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