Newcastle captain Kevin Nolan: It means more playing Liverpool FC at Anfield

NEWCASTLE captain Kevin Nolan admits leading his side out at Anfield on Sunday will have extra significance.

Two weeks ago towards the end of the 22nd Hillsborough Memorial Service, Steve Rotherham, MP for Liverpool Walton, announced to the congregation and the watching television audience that he would be putting a request before parliament.  This request would be calling for Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish to be made a Knight of Realm.  It was of course greeted with a massive round of applause whilst a rather startled Kenny Dalglish looked on, but being the man he is, Kenny stood up, waved and smiled at the crowd.

Steve explained that this request would be put forward in the form of an Early Day Motion.  These are notifications by Members of the House to register their interest in a subject.  They are in effect a form of petition as their main function before any debate is to gather as many signatures as possibly.  To be perfectly honest it is very rare for these to be debated on the floor of the House of Common during its lifetime.  This lifetime will last for the length of the Parliamentary session.  This will be its natural ending before the break up for the summer recess or if Parliament is dissolved early.  The Motion itself is resurrected when the new session opens in October, but again there is no guarantee of its time span or whether it will be successful.

This is how the motion is set out in this morning's Parliamentary list.  Each motion is given a unique number as you will see below:-
