§ Mr. PendryTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many administrative staff are currently in post at the Football Licensing Authority; how many more administrative staff it is planned to appoint; and what will be the time scale of such appointments.
§ Mr. John Patten[holding answer 8 May 1991]: The number of staff employed by the Football Licensing Authority is a matter entirely within the authority's own discretion. I understand, however, that seven administrative staff are currently in post, and that, while there are no current plans to increase that number, the position will be kept under review.
