Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 January 2025

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendment 304 is intended to allow the regulator to make a distribution order based on parts of submitted proposals rather than one proposal in its entirety. The current backstop process is designed to bring the two parties closer to compromise, as the binary choice between proposals incentivises them to submit complete, consistent and reasonable proposals. It is important to ensure that the regulator has a role only in facilitating the final proposal process and that the process is the least interventionist that it can be while remaining effective. This approach encourages future collaboration and prevents the leagues relying too heavily on the regulator in the future.
