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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the oral contribution from the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport of 4 September 2014, Official Report, columns 520-2, on non-league football, what discussions his Department has had with the Football Association (FA) on the possible contravention of FA rules and regulations by Hereford United Football Club and the Southern League; and if he will make a statement.

I meet regularly with the Football Association to discuss a range of issues, including football governance.
