Lord Markham (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 January 2025

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

I thank the noble Lord. I think that the points are clear. We are clearly not going to get the resolution now. I think it will carry on as a running sore until the Government, I hope, put all our minds at rest. All the time that they do not, and all the time that they obfuscate, we will continue to be concerned because we know that, if UEFA is not happy, the consequences are, as my noble friend pointed out, pretty dire in terms of our clubs’ involvement in European competitions. I will withdraw my amendment at this stage, but I am sure that this will come back over and again.
