HC Deb 09 February 1989 vol 146 c782W
Mr. Dewar

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many arrests there were for offences committed inside Scottish football grounds in each of the past five seasons.

Mr. Rifkind

Figures for the period prior to the 1987–88 season are not held centrally and chief constables have indicated that it would be very difficult to compile the information at this stage. During the 1987–88 season 845 arrests were made.
