Mr. Harry Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many exclusion orders were issued in England and Wales during the 1987–88 football season; and how many of these arose from incidents connected with Football League matches.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The exclusion order provisions of the Public Order Act 1986 came into force on 1 August 1987. For the 12 months ending 31 July 1988, a total of 925 orders had been recorded by the Football Association. The information readily available does not distinguish which of these were related to incidents connected specifically with Football League matches.
