§ Mr. PendryTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what advice he gave to the Football Association in relation to the proposed England v Germany match in Berlin; and when he first became aware of the date of the match.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI have been asked to reply.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office gave no advice to the Football Association about staging the England v Germany football match in Berlin. We first became aware of the fixture in January of this year.
