Dr Luke Evans

Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 April 2025

Debate

Football Governance Bill [Lords]

Contribution

There are not only political concerns about independence but concerns from the EFL about the regulator’s previous links with the Premier League. Does my right hon. Friend agree that when trying to make a digital decision when, for example, we come to the backstop and choosing one side over the other—the EFL or the Premier League—which is in effect what the legislation does, there would be a conflict of interest if the regulator had worked for the Premier League?
