Labour — Sheffield South East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 July 2025

Debate

Football Governance Bill [Lords]

Contribution

As I tried to set out, my intention was simply to draw attention to whether the regulator has the power—it does not necessarily have to use it—to intervene if the domestic competitions that all clubs engage in are being damaged by competitions like the club world cup, from which a handful of clubs make multimillions of pounds. I wanted to make sure that the regulator had the power to deal with that.
