Mr. Masonasked the Attorney General, in view of the further bribing of professional footballers that has taken place, if he will have inquiries made of the Football Association and the Football League with a view to instituting criminal proceedings against those responsible; if he will request the press investigation team of the Sunday newspaper responsible for these recent revelations to hand over their evidence in order to facilitate inquiries; and if he will make a statement.
The Attorney GeneralIt is for the police to investigate allegations that 103W offences have been committed. I understand that inquiries are already in progress and I will make a statement when they are completed.
