7 January 2009 Dear Ian Thank you very much for your pre-Christmas email with regard to the shocking injury to Iain Hulme from the Barnsley v Sheffield United football match. I am very sorry that the extended Christmas break has left me with a mountain of correspondence and I must therefore apologise for the delay to this reply. You will probably know that I have been an avid supporter of Blackburn Rovers since my childhood and so I can assure you of my sympathy. I am pleased to confirm that I will sign EDM 141, when I get back to Parliament next week, to signify my public support for the motion With best wishes Yours sincerely TIM FARRON MP
