HC Deb 08 June 1993 vol 226 c221W
Mr. McFall

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the report of the Scottish Stadia Committee regarding the implementation of the Taylor report.

Sir Hector Monro

No. The report is the property of the Scottish Stadia Committee and any decision to publish the contents of the report rests with that body.

Mr. McFall

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the level of preparedness of each football club in the premier, first and second divisions for complying with the Taylor committee requirement for all-seated stadia by August 1994.

Sir Hector Monro

My right hon. Friend announced in September last year his decision that, following our review of the Taylor report requirements, only clubs in the premier division of the Scottish football league should be subject to the requirements for all-seated stadia within the prescribed timetable. I wrote on 22 April this year to the chairman of the Scottish Stadia Committee reinforcing our continued resolve on implementation of Taylor in respect of those clubs and confirming the target dates for individual clubs by which all-seated work should be completed.
