John Glen

Conservative — Salisbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 March 2025

Debate

English Football: Financial Sustainability and Governance

Contribution

The hon. Lady is making a passionate speech and has done a great job of bringing us all to this Chamber. I lived through Reading’s trials through my stepson who is a season ticket holder— obviously, my first love is for the Whites in Salisbury. Does she not recognise the fundamental challenges of disturbing a market that contains one of our greatest national assets, which is the premier league? I feel quite torn and anxious about the scope creep of any regulatory intervention, although I accept that the core of what she says has a lot of merit.
