HL Deb 13 January 2000 vol 608 cc131-2WA
Lord Faulkner of Worcester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they expect to respond to the Report of the Football Task Force on Commercial Issues. [HL496]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

The Government welcome the final report of the Football Task Force on commercial issues, copies of which I am placing in the Libraries of the House. The report contains a great number of recommendations on a wide variety of commercial aspects of football and also sets out differing solutions recommended by the football authorities and other members of the Task Force to the issues it identified. We are currently giving careful consideration to these recommendations and will announce our conclusions in due course.
