Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 January 2025

Debate

Football Governance Bill [HL]

Contribution

So the Government should seriously think about accepting this notion of a sunset clause in good faith because if, in fact, all the things that many of us, not just Conservatives, are worried about are wrong, that is fine. But if we are right that this could destroy football as we know it, that is quite a big deal and the fans will never forgive you, no matter how often you say you have only done it for the fans. So for the fans, I think the Government should go for the sunset clause. It is not going to destroy their Bill, as has been explained, but it would be much more democratic and accountable.
