Business of the House

Business question from Bob Blackman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 January 2017. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.

I hesitate to spoil your good humour on such a day, Mr Speaker, but

you will be aware that Tottenham Hotspur is rebuilding White Hart Lane, and, as a result, we have to find a new home. The current proposal is that Tottenham will use Wembley stadium for a season, which will increase the use of our national stadium by 60%. There is an important issue for my constituency, which becomes the car park for Wembley stadium on event days. Worse still, Chelsea football club intends to come to Wembley for three years thereafter. Could we have a debate in Government time on the uses to which our national stadium can be put, so that we can put on record our concerns about the potential abuse of our national treasure?
