Lord Goodman of Wycombe (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 March 2025

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister. This has been an extremely positive debate. The noble Baroness, Lady Fox, was right to point out in detail that the Government prepared, in Clause 90, a potential line of retreat. Whether they have or have not, the Government have certainly listened to calls across the House for greater post-legislative scrutiny. I particularly enjoyed the distinguished contribution of my noble friend Lord Norton, who has long displayed a great interest in these matters. Given what the Minister said, I have no intention of pressing Amendment 81 —or the other amendments—to a vote this evening.
