Lord Keen of Elie
I am not sure that at this stage the Government would wish to encourage the Russians to place police officers in France for the purposes of the championship.
Lord Wigley (PC)
My Lords, is the Minister aware that the behaviour of the 24,000 Welsh fans at Bordeaux on Saturday, of whom I was one, was described by the French police as incident-free and by the French press as a joyous occasion? Will he commend to the English fans the need to replicate this approach to sport in whatever remaining games England have in this competition?
