59. Mr. Holt

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he next intends to meet the Football League and Football Association; and whether he will be discussing new measures to combat football hooliganism for the forthcoming domestic season.

Mr. Moynihan

I shall discuss progress on existing measures and the possibility of further measures with the football authorities, on 5 July.

76. Mr. Simon Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will authorise progress on the February 1987 joint Government and Football Authority agreement on measures to combat football hooliganism; and if he will make a statement.

46. Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the latest initiatives by his Department to improve crowd behaviour at English football grounds.

Mr. Moynihan

In February 1987 the Government and the football authorities reached agreement on a package of measures aimed at combating hooliganism at Football League grounds. Progress on some elements of the package has been good, particularly on the introduction of local plans for dealing with home and away supporters. But I regret that some clubs still have to put CCTV in place and the progress on the introduction of membership areas has been slow. I will be discussing progress with the football authorities on 5 July.
