Summary of a randomly selected bill, powered by AnyModel.Unauthorised Entry to Football Matches Bill
Current Stage: Committee stage
Last updated: 10/03/2025
Overview
This bill proposes making unauthorised entry to designated football matches a criminal offence in England and Wales. A conviction could lead to a football banning order.
Description
The Unauthorised Entry to Football Matches Bill amends the Football (Offences) Act 1991. It introduces a new offence: entering or attempting to enter a designated football match without a valid ticket. There are some key defenses to the charge. These include having lawful authority or excuse for entry, or entry via the normal spectator entry point with something the individual reasonably believed to be a valid ticket. The defence also covers situations where the ticket was invalid or the person was ineligible to use it. "Match ticket" is broadly defined to include electronic tickets. The Act applies only to England and Wales and the commencement date will be set by the Secretary of State.
Government Spending
The bill doesn't directly specify government spending figures. The cost of enforcing the new law (increased policing, court costs) is likely to increase, but precise numbers aren't given in the bill itself.
Groups Affected
- Football Clubs: May experience reduced security issues from unauthorized entry.
- Spectators: Those entering without a valid ticket face prosecution and potential banning orders.
- Police: Increased workload related to enforcement.
- Courts: Increased caseload related to prosecutions.
