Gambling: Football
Lord Foulkes of Cumnock asked Her Majesty’s Government:
What recent consideration they have given to representations from Football DataCo Limited on the effect on English and Scottish football of the directive on the legal protection of databases(96/9/EC) and the Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997 (SI 1997/3032) as interpreted by the European Court of Justice.
During the course of the question.....
Lord Faulkner of Worcester:
My Lords, on a slightly different, but very much related, topic, does my noble friend support the submissions made to the Gambling Commission by the Football Association and other governing bodies that they should be consulted by betting organisations on the sort of bets that are accepted on their matches and fixtures? This is necessary to further the integrity of the sports that they run.
