Football Governance Bill [HL]Contribution
It seems to me that it is the same burden but there is no difference in terms of the size of the club. It says that work will be taken away from a group of people in the larger clubs, but they are already doing work. It is not as though you are dealing with it by moving the problem to somewhere else. It does not happen like that in business, and I am seriously concerned about the approach that appears to be implied: that the compliance costs and burden will be put on somebody who can do it because they have the time. In business, if you do not have the time to do it, it is an extra cost and an extra burden.
