Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 March 2025

Debate

English Football: Financial Sustainability and Governance

Contribution

The referee is very clear that I cannot give way. I pay tribute to those hon. Members who mentioned the importance of non-league clubs and of Scottish clubs, which are not covered by English football regulation. However, given that this is a Backbench Business debate, as I remind the shadow Minister, we can cover all topics that we deem fit. Football is not just a business, yet it has to endure as a business. Clubs are not just commodities; they are central to our community. I thank all fans watching this debate, in Parliament and beyond, and our local fan groups in Reading, Sell Before We Dai and the Supporters Trust at Reading. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered the financial sustainability and governance of English football.
