"Integrity in Football" (Hansard, 21 January 1998)

HC Deb 21 January 1998 vol 304 c539W 539W

§ Mr. Caplin
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if the findings of Sir John Smith's report "Integrity in Football" will be acted upon by the Government's Football Taskforce. [24062]

§ Mr. Banks
The issues raised in Sir John Smith's report do not fall within the Taskforce's remit. Rather, they are matters for the Football Association to consider in the first instance. I have written to the FA's Chairman, Mr. Keith Wiseman, welcoming Sir John's report, and encouraging the FA to respond as early as possible.
