So I am warning us that this has happened before. Other legislators have said, “No, we’re aiming at the big guys, think big tech or the Premier League”. Again, I do not agree with targeting them or demonising them but, on the other hand, the danger is that this stifles the wrong targets. John Naughton referred to breaking a butterfly upon a wheel. I fear a similar fate, however unintended, for small and lower-league football teams. So, at the very least, let us have a checking mechanism. That is all that this amendment is suggesting. If I am wrong—brilliant. If I am right, it gives the Government the opportunity to set things right.
