Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether the Government has made an assessment of the potential merits of providing financial support for football league teams in the event that they play matches without fans as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
Football clubs are the heart of local communities, they have unique social value and many with a great history.
We will continue to liaise closely with the sector as the situation develops.
