§ Mr. Murphyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what measures are being taken, in advance of the finals of the World Cup, to provide information and advice to United Kingdom citizens visiting Spain to attend those finals.
§ Mr. MacfarlaneThe Government and Football Associations of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland have co-operated in the preparation of a World Cup guide for football supporters visiting Spain. It includes an appeal for good behaviour by fans signed by the captains of the three British teams participating in the finals, plus other information which visitors may find useful.
The leaflet was published on 24 May and will be widely circulated both here and in Spain. In recognition of this welcome initiative, my right hon. Friend proposes to make a contribution of £5,000 towards the costs, estimated at £15,000, of printing and distribution. I understand that the Football Trust is also considering a donation of £2,500.
The contribution will be paid from the provision for miscellaneous expenditure in subhead C2 of the Department of the Environment central administration and environmental research Vote, Class VIII, 5.
