Question
To ask the Scottish Executive what impact a return to standing areas at football grounds would have on policing.
Answer
This would be an operational matter for the relevant Chief Constable to consider in discussion with the football authorities. However, the Scottish Government remains to be convinced that there is any merit in bringing back standing at football grounds.
