Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 11 June 2018 to Question 150598 and in view of an impending announcement on safe standing, if his Department will reconsider the application by West Bromwich Albion FC to introduce safe standing in their stadium.

I have no plans to review West Bromwich Albion’s previous proposal to install standing accommodation. We are looking at the current all-seater policy and any changes that may be needed. We are keen to carefully review all the evidence on the matter and are grateful for the engagement from fans on this issue.
