answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>While a decision on establishing a franchise in the UK is a matter for the National Football League, the Government is very supportive of their ambition to do so. The 2018 London games were another great success, with average attendances of 85,000 demonstrating the strong appetite for American football in the UK. We are delighted at the NFL’s announcement of four London games in 2019, at Wembley and Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 15/11/2018 16:14:57 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
