Football: Sportsgrounds
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether his Department has consulted on safe standing in English football stadiums.
- Answer
-
We believe that all-seater stadia are currently the best means to ensure the safety and security of fans at designated football matches in England and Wales. I meet a wide range of football stakeholders and discuss standing at football with them amongst other issues.
We commissioned an independent review of the existing evidence relating to the all-seater policy and are considering an appropriate date for the report’s release.
