West Midlands Police chief constable Craig Guildford has apologised to MPs for giving them erroneous evidence about the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, blaming the use of AI.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will make a statement to MPs after she received a report on the decision to bar Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans from attending a Europa League match against Aston Villa in November.
A Home Office spokesperson said: “The Home Secretary has this morning received the Chief Inspectorate’s findings into the recommendation by West Midlands Police to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending a match against Aston Villa.
“She will carefully consider the letter and will make a statement in the House of Commons in response later today.”
