66. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has studied the recommendations of the jury appointed to inquire into the disaster on 2nd January last at Ibrox Park, Govan, in which 66 people lost their lives; and if he will make a statement on the matter and say what further steps he proposes to take to ensure maximum safety for spectators at football grounds.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Yes. The matters which the Government have referred to Lord Wheatley and Mr. Walter Winterbottom and their expert advisers, as announced by my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary on 4th February, are in line with the jury's recommendations.
