A Liberal Democrat MP has said that England should be banned from singing 'God Save The Queen' before sporting events.
Greg Mulholland argued that the anthem belongs to the UK, not just England, and that England should follow Wales' example in singing an anthem exclusive to them.
The Leeds North West MP said: "It is an affront to the people of Wales when England wrongly use the national anthem when England are playing.
"England should emulate Wales and be clear on the difference between England and the United Kingdom and introduce a rousing national anthem of our own."
The suggestion of an anthem exclusive to England has been mentioned before, with Jerusalem or Edward Elgar's Land of Hope and Glory the most likely candidates.
