HC Deb 10 February 1999 vol 325 c261W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on action taken against English hooligans attending the World Cup. [70264]

Mr. Boateng

The French authorities have provided the National Criminal Intelligence Service with information about all those arrested or deported from France. For those convicted of criminal offences in France, the French authorities have provided the Home Office with the court judgments in accordance with the bilateral agreement reached with France before the World Cup. We have requested further details in a number of cases with a view to determining whether there are sufficient grounds to apply to the domestic courts for the issue of a restriction order to prevent the offenders travelling to future matches abroad.
