Ms Hoey

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what response he has made to the report by the Institution of Structural Engineers, "Appraisal of Sports Grounds", a copy of which has been sent to him; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Patten

I was sent a copy of "Appraisal of Sports Grounds" on 30 May 1991. My private secretary replied to the Institution of Structural Engineers on 13 June 1991 to convey my thanks for the report and to relay my congratulations to the institution on producing a document which I regard as an important contribution towards achieving safety at sports grounds.
