SPORTS GROUNDS SAFETY AUTHORITY BILL - 2ND READING

13 May 2011: Lord Faulkner of Worcester moved that the Bill be read a second time "The Bill enjoys all-party support, and is one for which the previous Administration had hoped to find time but was unable to do so. The Bill, if enacted, will rename the Football Licensing Authority the Sports Grounds Safety Authority. It will enable the provision of advice, on request, about safety at sports grounds to any national or international organisation, person or body. It would also allow the new authority to charge for these services in certain circumstances."
