Football: Safe Standing

Speaker's ruling from Laurence Robertson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 June 2018. It occurred during e-petition debate on Football: Safe Standing.

I remind Members that the House has agreed, in its resolution on matters sub judice, that cases that are active before the courts should not be referred to in debate. There is currently a case involving six people who have been charged with offences relating to responsibility for the Hillsborough tragedy. That case and the individuals concerned may not be referred to in today’s debate.

As right hon. and hon. Members can see, this is a very heavily subscribed debate. I am therefore imposing a three-minute speaking limit and suggest that interventions are not made.
