Fears of deaths at Euros

-

A HOME Office minister expressed relief that nobody was killed after ticketless fans stormed Wembley for the Euro 2020 Final.

Baroness Williams of Trafford told peers it was a “very good thing that nobody was more injured than they were” amid chaotic scenes ahead of England’s defeat to Italy.

She noted 19 police officers were injured, adding: “Thankfully none died.”

Her comments came as peers quizzed the Government over the policing operation for last Sunday’s event.

Lady Williams added that she thought “some of the stewarding was deficient on the day”.
