I will lobby very hard. I believe the Chancellor is here and has heard that, too.
Mr Paul Sweeney (Glasgow North East) (Lab/Co-op)
Will the Minister undertake to speak to fans’ organisations, such as Fans Against Criminalisation, to make sure that the route to sorting out bigotry and racism lies in using fans to boot it out, rather than criminalising them unnecessarily?
Mims Davies
We have to find a balance between supporting fans who do the right thing and ensuring we make an example of people who choose to do the wrong thing. If the hon. Gentleman has any ideas on that I am happy to hear more.
