Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what new proposals he has to promote women's association football. [30033]

Mr. Sproat

Responsibility for the development of women's football rests with the Football Association. The FA is committed to the development of female football and has recently produced a strategy document which sets out its aim toincrease the involvement of women in football at all levels, and in all functions and roles".

The England women's football team is to be congratulated on reaching the quarter-final stage for the second women's world cup which took place recently in Sweden.
