Nigel Huddleston

Conservative — Droitwich and Evesham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 February 2026

Debate

Maccabi Tel Aviv Fan Ban

Contribution

I thank the Chair of the Select Committee and her team for their work. I agree with all of their conclusions. On her last point, about who knew what when, does she agree that it is now very clear that the Government were not co-ordinating effectively, that they seemed to be asleep at the wheel, and that Ministers and/or officials at the Home Office and DCMS were clearly not co-ordinating with each other on what is transparently a very sensitive issue, because they knew about the possibility of the ban weeks before the decision was made and appear to have done absolutely nothing?
