Lord Corbett of Castle Vale

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the timetable for reaching a final decision on the site of a proposed national football stadium in England. [HL843]

The Minister of State, Department for Culture, Media and Sport (Baroness Blackstone)

Patrick Carter is currently continuing discussions with the Football Association on the future of the national stadium project arising from the conclusions of his review of that project. My right honourable friend the Secretary of State will make an announcement on the extent of any future government role in that project once those discussions have conclued and she has discussed the issue further with both Sport England and the Football Association.
