My Lords, I thank the Minister for his encouraging comments on what he and his honourable colleagues are doing to assist. I declare an interest in one of the clubs mentioned so nicely by the noble Lord, Lord Foulkes. Does he agree that, while I and, I suspect, many of us are not up to date with every dot and comma of the directive and the regulations, anything that can be done would be of help to small clubs in Scotland? Many of us appreciate that this matter is far from the horseracing directive mentioned by the noble Lord but his efforts are particularly welcome, especially in my neck of the woods.

My Lords, the Minister was kind enough to mention integrity in sport. Is he able to give me some advice on one of the better scandals north of the border? It is nothing to do with the Premier League, but concerns the club in which I have an interest, Forfar Athletic, which was made to play Peterhead with about eight sick men. I understand that the sum of £250,000 was placed on fixed-odds betting. Forfar lost 8-0. I am not sure what the payout was, but corruption does not necessarily have to be in the Premier League. Can the Minister give me some advice on what might be done and, above all, on whether the rules apply on both sides of the border?

My Lords, the noble Lord will recognise that jurisdiction in the affairs of football and football clubs in Scotland is the priority of the Scottish Football Association. We are concerned, and in our 10-point plan, we are seeking to create standards across all sport in the United Kingdom as a whole to ensure that some of these practices are stamped out.
