Welsh Lib Dems back Euro 2016 bid
April 19, 2007 3:04 PM
Commenting on the announcement that the FAW is seeking to bid for the 2016 European Football Championships, Welsh Liberal Democrat sport spokesperson Eleanor Burnham said: "Welsh Liberal Democrats are the only party to have made a public commitment to support this bid. We know that attracting major events to Wales is a great way to promote sport and encourage people to take part.
"Bringing high profile events like the European championships also create opportunities for tourism and promoting Wales as a venue for people to work and come to study.
"We are the only party with a specific manifesto pledge to 'encourage moves towards a joint-bid with Scotland to host the 2016 Euro Football Finals'."
Notes/nodiadau:
The specific pledge appears on page 55 of the manifesto as part of our package to promote World Class Sport in Wales.
