FOOTBALL SUPPORTERS AND THE FOOTBALL TASK FORCE
That this House welcomes the collaborative work of the various football supporter organisations; warmly welcomes the Fans Charter for the Televising of Football; congratulates them also on their constructive work in the deliberations of the Football Task Force; further welcomes the majority report of the Football Task Force on Commercial Issues concerning the game; supports its recommendations for greater supporter involvement, for a strong code of practice, for the appointment of a football audit commission to provide independent regulation and of an 'Ombudsfan' to act as the consumers' champion; accepts that the football authorities have made some progress in addressing the serious problems of financial impropiety, but regrets that the proposals contained in their minority report fall short of what is required; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government and the Football Association to implement the recommendations of the Task Force's majority report without delay.
