00:00 John Bell. I'm aware that the Leader of the House has been celebrating Portsmouth's
00:06 elevation to the Championship this season. Of course last year in Ipswich we
00:10 celebrated our promotion to the Championship. Of course right now we're
00:15 celebrating our back-to-back promotion to the Premier League. So for the first
00:19 time in over 20 years the Tractor Boys have been in the Premier League in the
00:22 big time, arguably the biggest single boost to the town for over 20 years.
00:26 Will the Leader of the House join me in congratulating Kieran McKenna, our
00:30 exceptional manager, Mark Ashton, the Chief Executive of the club, the whole team at
00:34 Ipswich Town for the club we're passionate about not just the club and the town and
00:37 wish them all the best for a Premier League next season. Who knows, maybe
00:40 Portsmouth might be a year after. Well can I on behalf of us all congratulate
00:46 Ipswich Town on this huge achievement. It is great for the fans but it
00:51 will also be great for the whole of Ipswich because these achievements
00:56 bring economic progress, they bring social progress and many other
01:01 things. I think it's an excuse both of our clubs being promoted for a bit of a
01:06 pint I think. I'll stand in one. But no seriously congratulations to everyone
01:12 there and I hope what he says about Portsmouth comes to pass.
