§ 23. Mr. Canavanasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will arrange to meet representatives of the football authorities to discuss crowd behaviour at football matches.
§ Mr. MonroI have a continuing dialogue with the football authorities on many matters affecting the game, but with particular emphasis on the subject of crowd behaviour.
More formally, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Home Affairs and I recently met the Football Association to discuss its proposals to deal with this problem. Only last Monday I attended a conference on hooliganism organised by the Football Trust at which representatives from every sector involved with this issue was represented.
