Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)
Order. I ask Members to temper their language and not accuse each other of being disingenuous.
Amanda Martin (Portsmouth North) (Lab)
Ensuring that all fans can attend sporting events in safety and without fear must always be our first priority, and we must fully respect the operational independence of the police. Can the Secretary of State reassure the House that this Government will provide the necessary resources to support local policing in this case, particularly in the light of the heightened and very deep concerns around antisemitism, to ensure that resourcing is not the reason given for the block banning of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans?
Lisa Nandy
I am really happy to give my hon. Friend that assurance.
