Use Of Jerusalem As The English National Anthem At The 2010 Commonwealth Games
Proposed by: Greg Mulholland
On the 2010-06-15
During Parliamentary Session: 2010-12
In the topic of
Cultural heritage
Signed by a total of 15 MPs
That this House welcomes the decision to choose Jerusalem as the anthem for use by English athletes competing in the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi following a month long public vote run by YouGov in which almost 2,000 people were given a choice between Jerusalem, God Save the Queen and Land of Hope and Glory; believes that of the choices given, this is the correct one as it is the only song specifically about England and the only one of the three therefore appropriate to be used as an English national anthem; recognises that, unlike Scotland and Wales, England does not have its own anthem and so looks forward to other sports and sporting events adopting an English anthem for occasions when English teams and athletes, as opposed to British teams and athletes, compete; applauds the Anthem4England campaign for its work on this issue; wishes all England's athletes well in the upcoming games; and looks forward to Jerusalem being sung proudly before and after each such event. |
