HC Deb 15 November 1979 vol 973 c716W
48. Mr. Charles R. Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is satisfied with the effectiveness of the action taken by the police and football club managements to combat football hooliganism.

Mr. Whitelaw

I am naturally concerned about continuing outbreaks of violence associated with football matches, and although much is already being done by the police and the clubs I am considering with my colleagues what further action can be taken to combat the problem.
