Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Ranil Jayawardena and Tracey Crouch

Thursday 3rd November 2016 Commons Chamber

[Tracey Crouch]

There has been progress in the Football Association, but there is always more to be done. It is important that the FA remembers that it is there as the national governing body to support footballers.

[Mr Ranil Jayawardena (North East Hampshire) (Con)]
