RUGBY LEAGUE STATUE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM

That this House notes the lack of any statue dedicated to rugby league at Wembley Stadium; recognises the important historical link between the game of rugby league and Wembley Stadium, the venue which has hosted the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final since 1929; welcomes the recognition given to other sports in the form of statues and artwork at the new Wembley Stadium; believes that rugby league should also be recognised, given the long and successful Challenge Cup Final tradition; and calls on the Rugby Football League to work with the Wembley authorities to ensure that a statue is erected at the site.
