Mr. Pendry

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to re-examine the provisions of section 3 of the Football (Offences) Act 1991; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Maclean

We have no specific plans to do so. We do, however, keep under review all of the provisions of the Football (Offences) Act 1991, as well as other football legislation concerned with public order.
