Standing Areas At Football Grounds

EDM number 71 in 2007-08, proposed by Mike Hancock on 06/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Industrial health and safety and Sports.

That this House urges the Government to accept the case for introducing small, limited sections of safe standing areas at football grounds; further urges the Government to recognise that there is widespread support for such areas and that improvements in stadium design and technology mean that with rigorous safety specifications, standing areas could be safely re-introduced; and calls on the Government to convene a meeting of representatives of the police, supporters, Premier League clubs and the Football Licensing Authority to find a way forward.

This motion has been signed by a total of 111 MPs, 4 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
