§ Mr. PendryTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress has been made by the working party set up to revise the guide to safety at sports grounds in accordance with the recommendations of Lord Justice Taylor's final report into the Hillsborough disaster; and when the revised guide will be published.
§ Mr. John PattenRevision of the guide to safety at sports grounds in order to reflect the relevant recommendations by the Hillsborough inquiry has progressed well. A draft of the guide was sent out for wide consultation last August. The draft has been revised in the light of comments received and has been sent to members of the working group which meets again this week. We hope to publish the revised guide very soon.
