HC Deb 12 November 1973 vol 864 c20W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has received any representations from the Football League, in particular on the subject of loans, following publication of the Safety of Sports Grounds Bill; and what replies he has sent.

Mr. Lane

My right hon. Friend has received no such representations.

Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the estimated costs to Football League clubs arising from the publication of the Safety of Sports Grounds Bill for increasing safety measures at Football League grounds.

Mr. Lane

The expenditure incurred by a club will depend, among other matters, on the present state of its ground and on the terms and conditions imposed by the local authority in the circumstances of the case. No general estimate of costs is therefore possible.
