§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his answer of 27 February,Official Report, column 408, what proposals he has to introduce legislation to provide a separate power to prevent a person subject to a restriction order from leaving the country at the stipulated time.
§ Mr. Maclean[holding answer 13 March 1995]: I refer the hon. member to my written answer of 2 March, Official Report, column 656. Although I sympathise with the hon. Member's desire for immediate action, it is important to consider carefully the full range of options, both legislative and administrative, that may be necessary to deal effectively with the problem of football hooliganism.
§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his answer of 2 March,Official Report, columns 655–56, if the restriction orders authority is now in a position to confirm whether the 493W second person subject to a restriction order breached the terms of that order.
§ Mr. Maclean[holding answer 13 March 1995]: I understand that the restriction orders authority has not yet received confirmation that the person concerned reported to a police station as required. The authority has therefore notified the police station nearest to his home address. It is for the local police to consider investigating the relevant circumstances and to determine whether a criminal offence has been committed under section 16 of the Football Spectators Act 1989.
