That this House notes the excellent work being doneacross the UK by thousands of volunteers in preparation for the London 2012 Olympic Games; further notes the continuing issue of the name of the team from this country which has the title of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team; recognises that this is frequently shortened to Team GB; welcomes the fact that the Mayor of London has recently concurred with the sensible consensus which is emerging that the team should be more succinctly re-named as Team UK; and expresses the hope that this will be acted on by the relevant sporting authorities in time for the Olympic celebrations.

This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs.
