Lord Markham (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 January 2025

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

That would be very helpful, because the main point here, and what I hope we can achieve between now and Report, is that we know that there is a small group of economists at the DCMS who have put together this mechanism. There are noble Lords here who have been involved in media sports rights deals and these sorts of negotiations who can add real value to this. There is a real opportunity between now and Report to engage with those officials to really get into those negotiation mechanisms, because this is what we have narrowed it down to and that is what this debate has been useful for. I hope we can use that time productively.
