To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many(a) football matches, (b) rugby league matches and (c) other sports events she estimates will be played each year if the new Wembley Stadium is built. [38960]

Mr. Caborn

The long-term events profile for the proposed National Stadium at Wembley is a matter for the FA and Wembley National Stadium Limited (WNSL). WNSL have indicated that in 2006 a new Wembley Stadium would host a total of 20 football and rugby league matches.
