A parliamentary inquiry wants Fifa to conduct an independent review into the corruption claims that have dogged the organisation, according to BBC Sport. Football's governing body has been criticised for its response to the 2022 World Cup bribery allegations. Fifa is also criticised for its handling of corruption claims in their recent presidential elections.
The Culture, Media and Sport select committee's report is due to be published on 5th July, which will criticise Fifa's "contemptuous" and "dismissive" response to evidence submitted to the committee by the Sunday Times which accused two Fifa members, Issa Hayatou and Jacques Anouma, of asking for bribes to back Qatar's 2022 World Cup bid.
However, the ethics committee decided allegations of vote-trading between Spain and Portugal, who were bidding for the 2018 World Cup, and Qatar, who were bidding for 2022, were unfounded.

Does anyone even think for a moment that Sepptic Splatter will even consider the committee's findings? Fifa has always stated it will not accept any interference from MPs and yet here we are with puff up wind bags demanding all sorts of things.
What a waste of time, effort, money and energy.
