Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the government of France regarding the conclusions of the independent review of the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final, chaired by Dr Tiago Brandão Rodrigues; and whether they intend to ask that government to seek from the French police (1) a response, and (2) an apology to Liverpool FC fans for the treatment they received.

HMG has been clear that the events at the Champions League Final were unacceptable. The former Foreign Secretary raised the issue with the French Foreign Minister on 1 June 2022, as did the Sports Minister with his counterpart on 7 June. This continues to be discussed by officials. The French Government has apologised and acknowledged that mistakes were made. Security at major events will also be discussed at the upcoming UK-France Summit.
