HC Deb 08 May 1975 vol 891 c492W
19. Mr. Macfarlane

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce further legislative measures to enable the police to maintain effective control at football grounds.

Dr. Summerskill

While my right hon. Friend and my hon. Friend the Minister of State, Department of the Environment, who has responsibility for sport and recreation, are ready to consider any practicable suggestions to improve the situation, we have no reason to believe that police powers are inadequate.
