Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 January 2025

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

I thank the noble Lord, Lord Markham, for tabling Amendment 310. It is absolutely right that the regulator’s general duties be considered at the final proposal stage of the backstop. I also agree that sporting competitiveness and financial investment in English football are key to continuing to preserve what is so great about the game in this country. That is why the current drafting already delivers the intent of this amendment.
