§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people arrested at Premiership and Nationwide league grounds during the(a) 1998–99 and (b) 1997–98 seasons were (i) convicted of an offence and (ii) given a custodial sentence. [137889]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeThe information requested is not available. Most types of offences committed in connection with football are not specific to football; because convictions are recorded by category of offence rather than by the location or circumstances of the offence, no separate record is kept as to which offences took place at football grounds.
