Lord Markham (Con)

Obviously it would be for clubs to decide where they will resource that from, but it will come out of the resources they have. If it is one person for National League clubs—the impact assessment assumes that it will be five people for Premier League clubs—and you put that all together, you are talking about a staff of at least 500 involved in all these compliance activities. It was also said that the regulator will have some 250 members of staff. So, you will have 700 to 800 people working in the compliance domain, and that has to come out of the pot that is football today. That is a very relevant issue. I agree on the needs of the regulator, and I agree that business plans are always a good thing, but there is a certain proportionality here that we need to be mindful of. I am mindful of the time, so I will move on to Amendment 329, in my name and that of my noble friend Lord Parkinson. It is consequential to an earlier amendment we tabled, Amendment 19, which sought to put the leagues under scope in the Bill. This amendment would simply ensure that the regulations that may be made by the Secretary of State to amend the competitions under scope would be subject to the affirmative procedure.
