HC Deb 12 December 1985 vol 88 c777W
Mr. Kaufman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has as to how many football grounds in Great Britain are in possession of closed circuit television; and what proportion these are of the total.

Mr. Tracey

27 grounds in the Football League and the Scottish Football League now have closed circuit television systems. This represents 21 per cent. of the total number of grounds in the two leagues. The aim of the football authorities is to have CCTV at all clubs in divisions 1 and 2 in England and the premier division in Scotland as quickly as possible.
