DISORDER IN AMSTERDAM (CELTIC FC V AJAX)

That this House asks the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to investigate claims made by Celtic FC fans that they suffered an unprovoked attack by plain-clothed Dutch police officers while in Amsterdam on Tuesday 5 and Wednesday 6 November 2013, which they allege sparked further disorder from fans of both teams; acknowledges that football violence is reprehensible; and asks that the Government raises the matter with the Dutch government and ensures it does all it can to protect British football fans while they are overseas and works with the UK's European neighbours to ensure good conduct by police forces during international sporting events.
