Select Committee on Education and Employment Appendices to the Minutes of Evidence


APPENDIX 3

Memorandum from the Scottish Football League (WP6)

  I refer to your letter of 16 August, which has now been considered by the Management Committee of The Scottish Football League.

  Whilst the criteria which govern the issue of work permits to footballers who are not EEA Nationals have been amended over the years, the Management Committee is of the opinion that the recently introduced criteria and the operation of the system, with the provision for appeal by unsuccessful applicant clubs, is of benefit to the member clubs of The Scottish Football League.

  For your guidance there are, at present, only two players playing for clubs in membership of The Scottish Football League for whom work permits have been granted.

  I trust this information is of assistance to the Committee.

The Scottish Football League

October 1999
