Lord Hesketh

My Lords, on behalf of my noble friend Lord Caithness I beg to introduce a Bill to control the admission of spectators at designated football matches in England and Wales by means of a national membership scheme and licences to admit spectators and to provide for the making by courts, and the enforcement by designated agencies of orders imposing restrictions on persons convicted of certain offences for the purpose of preventing violence or disorder at, or in connection with, designated football matches played outside England and Wales. I beg to move that this Bill be now read a first time.

Moved, That the Bill be now read a first time.—(Lord Hesketh)

On Question, Bill read a first time, and to be printed.
