HC Deb 23 June 1976 vol 913 c510W
45. Mr. Terry Walker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to ensure that all British Judoka are able to participate in national, international and Olympic eliminations and competitions.

Mr. Denis Howell

At my request the Sports Council is urgently considering the relationship between the governing body for the sport, the British Judo Association, and the other organisations representing British Judoka. I am sure the Sports Council will bear in mind the International Judo Federation and International Olympic Committee rulings on eligibility for selection for representative teams in their review of the situation.
