COVENTRY CITY FOOTBALL CLUB ACCOUNTS (No. 2)

Tabled by Mr Bob Ainsworth (Labour) 1 signatures

The motion

That this House notes that the Coventry Telegraph reported on 10 July 2013 that BDO auditors told it that it has fully co-operated with the joint administrator of Coventry City Football Club, Mr Paul Appleton; further notes that Mr Appleton told the same newspaper that he had received more information from BDO and provided more to ACL, the stadium owners and a creditor; further notes that Mr Appleton has since said he has sent a very long letter to BDO and is not responsible for what it says in the press; further notes that, meanwhile, company accounts remain long overdue and that BDO has not said whether it signed off the accounts for year ending 31 May 2011 as correct; therefore calls on BDO to inform the joint administrator, without further delay, whether it agrees those accounts and on the administrator to inform the creditors accordingly; and further calls on Companies House to delay no further in pursuing the long overdue filing of the accounts.
